Finally time for some internet!

So we finally have a little bit of free time today! We are all in Panama City on a scavenger hunt, basically. We had three places to find this morning, which took about 2 hours round trip, now we´ve just been playing around in the city. We got to go to Casco Viejo - if you google it you will probably find out more about it that I know, but it was a really beautiful old part of the city right along the water. Very European feeling. Now we´re at the mall, have been shopping some and walked into a Digicel store to buy some more phone minutes and found free computers with internet! Woohoo. Best part of the day haha.

Yesterday was awesome too. There was a fair in La Chorrera, the town pretty close to ours, and a bunch of us went. It was a typical fair with a bunch of food, vendors, rides, and some animals. It was pretty cool. Ate some really good chicken on a stick and some delicious fries. Also I had cotton candy, typically. We had a great time, then I went home and got to meet my host family´s daughter, who is probably in her 30´s and her daughter, who is 9 - Qerima. She was soooooo sweet. I hope she comes around a lot because she was so cute and great to speak Spanish with! She would correct me and would help me find the words that I needed. So that was fun.

Also, I´ve had several people asking me about the bugs. Of course at night, when you turn the lights on, moths and little bugs come out. But there haven´t been many mosquitos, which has been great. I saw one cockroach in the latrine the other day. But I told me host mom and she went and sprayed. Apparently they come out a lot more during the rainy season, so I´m not looking forward to that. But otherwise, it´s been relatively bug-free! No bug bites (for me) to speak of yet!

Now I should probably get off of the computer.... haha

Chao!
