Thats a link to Maria's album from her and Ron's trip out here. I'll at least give a run down of where we were
Penonome
Ojo de Agua working
Loma Bonita
Boquete
Climbing Volcan Barú
On top of Barú
Panama City (Casco Viejo, canal, Panama Viejo)
the goodbye at the terminal which we're so used to by now
Now that August is about over, I'm goin back to the life I was so used to before the month long string of visitors. Its always a mini shock to think "oh yea, I live by myself again and I only speak spanish." The dog and cat (the biting and scratching ketchup does I take as a sign of affection) help jaja. In September I'll actually be holding on to nikki's dog while she's in the states. It'll be an in-site month except for the mejorana festival in Guararé.. a town in Los Santos. Oh, and our environmental group is making a trip to the National Park Omar Torrijos next week which should be fun.
In October, I'll hopefully get one more stove put up in site.. while the others will have to wait until January or so when the rain stops so we can get the materials up the hill. We've got AVC mid october in Chitre, which stands for All Volunteer Conference.. the name explains itself.
Octobers another important month because fiesta season starts up again with the founding of La Pintada (capital of our district) on the 19th. Then hits November with a string of holidays including independence day. Besides the one stove, seems like I'll just keep teaching through the end of the school year in December. By the way, I'll be home for the holidays 22nd to the 28th :)
