Panama day 10-11

Panama day 10 and 11 Jan 14-15 2011

As soon as I arrived at Trisker I saw about 15 little ones crying at the gate. One was screaming for his mommy. I found out that some of the kids had gone to the flower fair in Boquete. When I pulled open the gate and the kids saw the present that I had brought with me they were delighted. Several kids were pulling on each item. Some little boys thought that the bag of balls was a piƱata and insisted on hanging it on a tree and hitting it with a large stick until the bag ripped and the balls came pouring out. The taxi that should have come to pick me up was late; so late that I just waved one down. The next day when I arrived at Habla Ya I did not need to stay long before my dad came looking much like a tourist. It was as if our family had some idea that as soon as dad came we would stop trying to fit in. But yes I was happy to see him.

  2. Aww, you're so mean to your dad... My whole FAMILY never fit in, we're too blonde and brunette and non-Latino. Alas.
    Shoot me an email when you get back, chica, the snow is ripe for skiing here in the land of frigidness.
