Greetings from Panama!!!

From the moment we flew into Panama, it has been an adventure from the very start. The first part of the week we were in the City of Knowledge. We stayed in little villas within the community. We had an amazing tour throughout the city which included a tour through ancient catedrals, a tour about the Panama Canal and a closer in depth look of where people live. The food here has been very interesting in a sence that we are not all use to eating rice and chicken everyday two meals a day. Our spanish speaking ability is not up to par it seems. Ordering food and catching cabs is always a challenge but we always somehow make it through. Overall the challenges we have had to endure over the past week or so have made us better people and I have learned so much more about a culture and a country I thought I would never in my life ever get to experience. I feel very grateful and honored to have recieved the chance to experience the country of Panama.
