Approaching my year in country mark, and it is hard to
believe. I have to admit that I still feel very new and experience awkward
gringa moments just about everyday.
The month of November is full is Panamanian holidays and other excitement.
Enjoy the photos!!!

| Manolo, my community guide, wanted to take me out to his farm to pick some yucca for dinner. This is after a 20 min car ride and a half hour hike, and we still aren't there. I don't know if this counts as eating locally. That little rancho in the background doubles as a house during planting and harvesting season. And the lake is toward the top right corner--hard to see. |
I don't know if this video will work, but this is what happens when a person has been left alone for too long.
