SITE ANNOUNCEMENT!
Today I found out where I will be living for the next two years!!!!! I am living on the border of 2 provinces even though I am only officially in one! I will be in the Panama Oeste region, right on the border of the Cocle province! SO AWESOME!!! I am actually really close to Panama city as well, about 2.5 or 3 hours! I am just so exited/anxious/nervous about the whole thing but I know it will be fine. Just have to keep working on that Spanish!
We had a really great time at our coffee training week in Boquete. The climate was just amazing compared to the climate everywhere else I have been here. It hovered around 70 degrees the entire time we were there and even though the sun didn't shine a whole lot, being in the cool environment was really great! I learned so much about coffee that I never thought I could possibly learn or that shit that ever existed.
There isnt't a whole lot going on at the moment. Nothing super exciting anyway. Except that I went to a beach on Saturday because we had the day off and it was a really nice beach that had kind of black sand (a little bit weird to find mucky black shit in my bathing suit!). But, it was a fun time and we basically just slept on the second floor of this giant cabana/restaurant type place owned by some Germans. I tried to speak the Deutsch to them but since Spanish has infiltrated my brain, I was not able to get a whole lot out except that it was my birthday and I spoke a little bit of Deutsch. Oh well.
Also, my host family had a small party for me on Monday for my birthday. It was nice because they wanted to make tacos (not a common food here in Panama) and so even though we had to do all of the preparations, it was still really cute because they had all the stuff we needed. AND they bought me these really cute DANGLY earrings (good because I lost one of mine!) and I got a bracelet from 2 of my friends here. All around a pretty decent birthday. I'm sure that next year it will be different as I will be allowed to actually have a couple o' drinks!
Anywho, I forgot my camera this time so I can't post any sweet pics of the coffee awesomeness that was last week but I will get them up soon!
Until next time...
