February & March 2010 - In Photos

We've been busy in the last few months, so we've decided to post a few photos from our many adventures to help everyone catch up - but don't you fret, we've still got more to post about, including our VERY successful leadership conference that we just finished!  These photos start with a few from our trip to Boquete with my friend Michele and her mom, who visited from the states.  From there we've got some pictures from our community, the birthday of a friend, and our quick vacation to San Blas (aka the Comarca Kuna Yala) on the Caribbean coast.  Enjoy!

River above Boquete.

Yay Peace Corps!

Me, by a waterfall (not huge, but not bad for Panama!)

Watch out for cars falling off cliffs around this corner!

This business works REALLY hard, they have a 25 hour a day schedule.

This chiva is *pretty* full!

Playing with the neighbor girls - they're pretty awesome!


And the neighbor boys.  They love hamming it up!


Hello grasshopper!  We found this lady laying eggs outside the school.

David, with our cat, in a hat.


I'm drawing the Chilean and Argentine coasts on our world map.

In mid-February the freakishly strong winds came back and ripped the "rancho" off our house one night.

I took this picture from my "seat" on the spare tire in the back of the chiva. There were quite a few people riding down with us that day.

Celebrating Andi's birthday with a flaming flan!  Ben wanted us to use trick candles.  The flan was tiny.  Ben almost burnt his hands, but it was a good time!

Latrine in San Blas - where does the poop go?

Huts in Carti, Comarca Kuna Yala (San Blas)

San Blas gorgeousness from Devil Island.  Looking at Dog Island.

The huts on the beach on "our" island.

Beautiful!  We swam over here to enjoy Dog Island for a while.


Combing the reef for cool sea creatures.

One of those sea creatures, a large sea urchin, stung Ben.

Then, the next day he stabbed his hand with his knife while peeling coconut flesh.

Meligo's grandkids!  Isabella's babies!

All the animals are interested when the Spink's wash dishes.  2 dogs, 1 cat and a chicken...

This guy was on Ben's neck when washing dishes the other day.

Yipes ! I wouldn't want that spider anywhere near me - especially on my neck ! The photos are GREAT ! The kids are cute and I love the "cat in the hat." The trip looked like fun except for the sea urchin and knife in the hand part ! Take care !! Love you & miss you !! Mom, Dad, Lady, Nikodemus, Amigo, Nikki and Gordo !
