We are cruising right along. I have decided to just write a handful of sentences and some run-on sentences to sum up some of the most recent adventures here in lovely, loud Panama!

When visiting the buggy beach at Las Lajas, don't sleep shirtless.

There are many, many amazing sites here in Panama; when you can see the Pacific Ocean from your mountain side home or when your arrival involves a moonless, night dug-out canoe ride through a photo luminescent bay you know you are in one of them.

When the dogs of the town roam free their lives become an intriguing melodrama of triumph and tragedy.

Lauren would rather not have a bat fly right at her face in a narrow hallway.

Lauren says, "No me gustan los bichos, pero los bichos les gusto a mi! Los murcielagos y lagartijas son mis amigos porque comen bichos!"

Lauren's Spanish is leaping and bounding forward because she is really speaking like the above.

One can prepare a chocolate chip banana bread here...if one were so inclined.

Rural aqueducts are predominantly gravity fed, which makes for some very interesting physics.

One time this week I got under the sheet at night!

One time this week we read a temperature of 92 degrees Fahrenheit...in the shade...where we have class four hours a day.

It is quite common for volunteers in the mountain regions where we could end up to go through 4 to 5 pairs of chacos because they hike so much.

Patty, Andrew, and Allie are already invited to come visit Mabel with us!

There is a place in the Darien where you take a prop plane into a lodging catered to bird watchers that is known as the best place to be a bird nerd in the entire world.

I bought a 75 dollar pair of Kenneth Cole dress pants for 16.99 at the mall.

Happily from Panama,

Alex :)
