During my stay in Panama City, I ate some Columbian food called Bandeja Paisa,


The next day we went to a Bio Museum, visited the City, and checked out the stands they had there, while looking at the stands it started to rain a lot. Then we ate Panamanian food at this place called Diablicos, as well as visited the Panama Canal and saw a movie about it after that was was about the Panama Canal in 3D.

Yesterday was hot not something I'm used to, but Panama is very pretty. When arriving our group got a tour around Batipa, where we will be staying until next week. I saw Howler Monkeys, one had a baby with it. I found out that they have a favorite type of mango. I also ate some very good food. We had an introduction circle towards the night around 7 ish. Then shortly after it was time to get ready for bed. I would say I slept alright, there was some nice rain.

Visited and did a presentation and saw a dance. So we visited the Ngabe tribe. It was so nice and I felt very welcomed. I saw a wonderful dance and ate a nice soup. We visited the medicine garden where it started to rain so much, still, everything was so beautiful. After that all of us completed a Clean Water presentation, where we talked about the importance of clean water and how to store water.

  Boat day and Beach day  So today, Sunday, started very early. Around 7:30. We checked out two beaches today. Swam in the water. The water was so nice and warm. I was able to see crabs and hermit crabs. I also drank out of a coconut for the first time while floating. The first island was nice and relaxing, I swam and then laid on a towel. When we left the first island we got the chance to snorkel. We left for the Last Island were we swam, set up the towels again, went tubing on a hot dog, and then ate lunch there. When leaving it was so hot I got so sunburnt. I saw dolphins and we also saw a huge bird in the sky, its feathers looked like it had two tails. After some research maybe a FrigateBird? But we also broke a seat after hitting a wave.. it was so funny.

"Preliminary" Presentation Day Today was extremely successful. I'm writing this blog around 4:55.  My group today, the "Plant" group, presented our poster on Flora de Batipa. Ebony and Salvador have been such amazing teammates. I slept in a little and that felt amazing. I even posted a few of the photos I took to share with friends. The weather today was hot, but now while writing this, it's extremely windy. I see possible rain coming in tonight. Also, I did an interview with Karolynn. Ate dinner, Went to sleep shortly after.
