Migration

This migration is my return to Panama. I never did write a summary or a final post about my Peace Corps experience but I figured the fact that I am back a year later to visit says a lot about how I ended my friendships in all parts of Panama, including my community of Salitre in La Comarca Ngabe Bugle.

During my current adventure I am taking a photo of the day, so here are a few to get this blog going again!

This is the very unique basalt rock in the mountain town of Boquete.  The local climbers like to snag pictures of the “Batman hang” when coming down on belay! Such a wonderful climbing community that will always have a place in my heart and keep dragging me back to Panama!

Had such a wonderful time going back to see my old Peace Corps community.  In my last few months the government started a bridge project so that the community members and especially teachers and students can cross the river in the rainy season to get to the school in the next town. All materials had to be flown in by helicopter.  Well it is finally finished and the Panamanian President even came to bless the bridge and celebrate.

Getting my hair braided and taking selfies at the sleepover 🙂

Have to thank the hound dog for this dinner.  Conejo pintado (spotted rabbit) tastes kind of like chicken and always makes for a special meal whether boiled or fried.

There are a lot of contrasts in this picture. It kind of portrays the western influence on the rural village. Within their stick house they have a computer in which they don’t have power to charge, but all kids still enjoy a pet! They found this little gal without a mom.
