So I have been here almost two weeks, on Tuesday it will be 2 weeks. I really like it here and the people are very nice. They like the gringos! It is very hot and humid here and since the hills here are so large, I sweat a lot. Also, there isn't central A/C or a fan in my room and the toilet is a latrine (hole in the ground type thing but with a nice toilet seat on top :)). I know it's gross but this is my blog :) The food here tastes really good and it's not all rice and beans. My host mom really enjoys other things, pasta for example is a favorite, and so she doesn't like eating rice everyday. Next weekend I will be traveling to the site of a current volunteer to kind of get an idea of what is going on and what she does there. I am very excited but the trip there will take me probably 6 or so hours. I am excited because I will be going most of the trip by myself so I will be able to at least navigate where I'm going even if my Spanish isn't up to par. Anyway, I will try to update again after my trip so you can know what it's like in the Panamanian interior!
Until next time...
