La Bucería Panama

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a hotel on this island, so we are camping for the night. I stay near a city called La Bucería, it's near a Transform boundary. A transform  boundary is when two tectonic plates grate against each other.This causes severe earthquakes, and most frequently occurs in the middle of the ocean along parts of a divergent fault.
When I arrive at the campsite, I can see the sun setting out over the calm sea, lighting the water with its orange rays. The sand on the beach just down a short trail has soft white sand. There are tropical trees all around us, the campsite is in the middle of a forest. It is hotter than it was in either of the other two locations, the air is thick and still, making it a little harder to breathe. I set up my tent, so i don't have to worry about it when it is all the way dark, put on my swimsuit, and go swimming in the cool refreshing water. After swimming around a little, I am ready to go back to bed.
