El Explorador - Part 1

As part of our Boquete adventures, we visited a garden called El Explorador. We had heard something about a place that had plants growing out of old shoes and quirky words of wisdom painted on flowerpots, but we had very little idea what to expect. What we found was strangely beautiful. A bizarre conglomeration of recycled, organic whimsy. Here are a few pictures of our favorite parts:

As usual, Gwendolyn was attracted to the animal element, here in the form of a somewhat aggressive cat dressed in a modified dress sock.

She also loved the oranges.

We had a great meal in the garden restaurant. The women who worked there offered us a free lunch if we traded them the Wren. We did, but somehow they ended up charging us anyway.

Our sentiments exactly.
