Happy New Year!
The holidays have been a whirlwind. After PurÃsima I left Nicaragua and headed back to the US for a short and sweet Christmas. I arrived in Houston on a Saturday and left just over a week later. Enough time to see the lights, go to Christmas Mass and open presents the next morning.
After a day in Nicaragua I hopped on a Tica Bus and headed out to Panama for the New Year. Two days later Julie (a TEFL volunteer in my department), and I got in a taxi in Panama city and for $4 finally arrived! FINALLY. *For those PCVs in Panama, I have one word for you- JEALOUS. The city was gorgeous. The people were charismatic and warm. The prices weren´t that bad. It is amazing there.*
We celebrated New Years till the sun came up.
At the Panama Canal we behaved like tourists and read our way through the museum.
In Casco Viejo we drank wine and danced.
We visited the National Art Museum to see the Da Vinci Exhibit.
We loved the Panamanian life fully.
Now back in Nicaragua I´m ready to celebrate the new year with my close of service conference, youth groups, and women´s month in March. Let´s do this.
