BOCAS DEL TORO


Last year I went on vacation to Panama and stayed in the
most beautiful place I’ve ever been—a place called Bocas
del Toro. It’s on the Caribbean Sea and has amazing
beaches, trees, flowers, and wildlife—all in one place.
I loved walking on the beach and feeling the soft, white
Surfers riding waves
sand between my toes and the warm sun on my face.
When I got a little too warm, I sat under a shady tree near
the water and closed my eyes to hear the calming sound
of the waves breaking on the shore. When I opened my
eyes and looked around, I could see surfers riding on the
blue-green waves, like dancers on top of the water. I could
also see small, brown monkeys jumping and swinging
through the many beautiful green trees. The sweet scent
of the yellow and white ylang-ylang flowers mixed with Ylang-ylang flowers
the smell of the salty ocean. No perfume could smell any
better! When I got hungry, I walked to a restaurant where
they served delicious fresh fish and my favorite: sweet and
salty fried plantains, which are similar to bananas.
Every time I think about my time in Panama, I can still see,
smell, hear, feel, and taste that beautiful place, and for a
few moments, I am back on that beach. I hope I can go
back again soon!
