Greg and I recently discovered a new hike. Volcancito Road (the road we live on) has various smaller roads that branch out from it, and it's been fun to explore new paths that we did not even know existed. The start of this particular hike is a 10 minute walk above our house, and the path itself winds through coffee fincas. The scenery is impressive, and not only did we see beautiful flowers, parrots, and butterflies, but also came across a
coral snake right in the middle of our path!

| These beauties are seen throughout the Boquete area. |
 |
| We saw several parrots and managed to take a picture of this one. They can be difficult to spot since their bright green color is no different from the leaves of the trees. |

 |
| It's tough to get a good image of butterflies since they move so quickly, so I felt fortunate to get a good shot of this one. |
 |
| The path wound through several coffee fields. |

 |
| There is no doubt about it, this is definitely a coral snake! It's a good thing Greg spotted it before one of us stepped on it, as it was directly in the middle of our walking path. |
