Tonight we are a very tired group. Last night we were up late encouraging each other,which was SO cool, but we all just didn't get a lot of sleep.
Today we had a WONDERFUL day, cruising around Panama City relaxing and being tourists. After being in the jungle for 6 days, being back in the city is a little weird. We all are experiencing some culture shock already. We spent our morning walking through the rainforest by the Panama Canal. It was GORGEOUS. We saw lots of exotic insects and birds, and saw a tree FULL of howling monkeys.
After the rainforest walk, we went to a local shopping mall and had lunch. The shops were SO weird to be around again. Mcdonald's, Subway, Cinnabon,... the local mall here is just like any mall back home. It was almost surreal walking around the clean shops after being surrounded by poverty for a week.
After our visit at the mall, we stopped by a local shop to buy some sweet Panama souveniers, and then had dinner out on the causeway by the Panama Canal.
Tomorrow we are off to the Carribbean to swim and catch a tan; a relaxing break after working for the past two weeks.
Here are some pictures from our day today. Love to you all.
Good night!
