Yesterday we went to the fish market and a fruit market. It was a very new experience for me. I´m not used to seeing fish up close and personal, staring right back at me lol. The man we bought it from cleaned and deboned it right in front of us, and then a few of the guys grilled it for dinner along with some veggies. After dinner we talked with one of Lorena friends who teaches in the city (Lorena is the country coordinator for this program) and she gave us tips on how to approach teaching English as a second language. Today, we went to the Panama Canal and then to the causeway which is a series of three islands made from the dirt that was dug up to create the canal. We learned a lot about the history of Panama and its often strained relationship with the U.S. So far this has really been an amazing experience. I´ve only known the people in this program for a few days, but they really feel like family. Even though we come from all over the US we have a lot in common. Ok, a bunch of ppl are waiting to use the computer so I have to go. Also, once I get to my village I will prob. only have internet once a week so there will be fewer blogs. Hope everyone is doing well. I miss you all!
