Windows are Good!

My sister came to visit me in Panama. And our first stop was Las Lajas, a 13 km long beach on the Pacific side.
Eva, my boss, recommended that we stay with a German couple that has a bar at the beach. The rooms are very cheap, only 5$ per night per person. And since I didn't want to spent much money, I liked the idea. However, when we arrived we were a bit confused about the definition of "a room". It was on top of the bar and it didn't have any windows. I didn't mind that it only had a mattress and otherwise very simple furniture. But with the location being directly at the beach, the "room" was incredibly sandy. The sand was just everywhere: in the bed, in our bags, on our skin.... The owners of the bar also didn't have any windows in their room. I mean, it was kinda fun to live so close to the nature and beach for 2 nights, but I doubt that I would like to live like that for 2 years.

Well, the view was georgeous though, the Pacific warm and the beach empty. So far I haven't seen a crowded beach in Panama.

During the weekend we were there, the German couple had organized a Oktoberfest with tyical music and food. The food was absolutely delicious, especially after not having had German food for nearly 2 months! And since my sister lives in Munich and has been to the Oktoberfest many times, she taught me the funny dances to the typical music: the dances are so easy because you also have to be able to do them after 4 litres of beer. However, the Panamanian guests of the bar were quite shocked when they saw us dance. I guess, they don't know what fun is.
