Picture Time!!!

Here´s some recent shots from our last several weeks on the world´s greatest isthmus!





Our two favorite volunteers, on a boat in Chagras National Park. This river, which is relatively pristine, was our shower for a few days!






This is the Embera village that Amanda mentioned in our last entry. It´s located right on the banks of the above river. Note that the homes are all elevated at least 10 feet above the ground!







Amanda and a few Embera girls from the village. As understanding one another wasn´t easy, it wasn´t until later that we realized that the majority of their conversation was inquiring about another Peace Corps volunteer that they all had a crush on!






A fine example of neo-thatch Junglian style architecture, in its purest form.
Although not similar to our future hut, this one is rather typical of the style in Panama, and in which many Peace Corps volunteers spend their two years.





Hanging out at an amazing waterfall! I´d say we spent at least two or three hours jumping and swimming at this wonderfully picturesque retreat.







Our friend and fellow Peace Corps volunteer, Yemiymah hanging out at the waterfall. She is from Chicago where, although it claims many beautiful public fountains and parks, cannot boast of waterfalls of this caliber.











We wear our mantle of suffering and service for our country with pride and gratefulness. Thanks Uncle Sam!
