Guys, don't worry - I had fun in Panama too

We had 1 day off & we did aproveitar (look it up in honor of the World Cup)

What did we do at Bocas del Torro?
We called loved ones



I went to the set of Colombian Survivor (de verdade!)
So if you see it - know they weren't really so far from civilization.



We ate here! Seriously!
I didn't take photos because it was rainy & I forgot to buy a waterproof camera
- but it was a dream.


Then back in Panama . . .



I gave up my seat on the plane to some sucker while I stayed here
But I couldn't really be bothered to go swimming because . . .


. . . I had a hotel suite with multiple rooms!

After no running water & tight spaces - I was pleased as punch.




I liked Panama and all but they were kind of weird with their food issues.

Guys, did you know I hike?

One day in Panama we hiked here:


I know you don't believe me so I had someone document me being there
& yes we did everything in scrubs (I told you my skin didn't see the sun in Panama)


And NO it wasn't a fun+games hike (do those exist?)



We were looking for places that looked like this



So we could teach these:



And maybe try and steal some of this:

I wanted to make a joke about cocaine but I didn't think my mom would like me using the word 'blow' and Duh! we all know they don't really come from the same plant - come on! We stopped confusing Cocao with Coca after the 4th grade, right?

Guys... I'm Back!

Finally!
I get my computer back!


And I can tell you all about Panama.
(I really could Not get enough of that Canal)
Remember - I went there 2+ months ago?



And I worked in this school



in the middle of the jungle




& we had to drive an hour through calla lily fields to get there



& the dogs were like models - the discipline!





what are the kids looking at?



oh, just this:


What? Did you think I went there for fun + games?

Guys, my sisters are funny

A Monkey wrote this to @lisa after my last blog:

"P.S. You look hot in that bathtub shot:
CLICK
(Oh, if you had a quarter for every time you heard that one . . .)"

Guys . . .

Yes I went to Panama to suffer (I will give you 1 Euro if you can find me - that's just a few pennies right about now, huh?)
but first I want to discuss something muy importante.
(Also I don't have a card reader to get my real photos of the trip onto my compy)



How great is America?



There are parks with keys that not just anyone can visit (I finally got inside thanks to these 2)


& my Persian Princess (Secret Sister) came to visit because she needed some time in America



We have parks for old people like me - that are also dress friendly



There is a store dedicated to The Dude (you know he's half part Man of My Dreams? The other half would be Jack Donaghue, of course)



And once a year we have a Dance Parade (this is a big deal because I Hate parades - and fireworks - but that's another story - but this one made me weep with joy)


& AND in the parade there are floats w/ ladies wearing pasties, loud techno & sleeping babies (tell me you can see the sleeping kid - I wanted a zoom on my camera phone that day so bad. I also wanted to ask the mom if her child was already deaf but it was too loud)



Oh - do you know I call New York 'America?'
This whole time when I was saying 'America' I was talking about one city.
How pretentious and awful is that?

That's why I have to leave here and move somewhere with fancier bath tubs...
...but still has sisters



Plus, this is what I look like when I'm in my Homeland
Really blurry & happy because everyday is a party
(& my dad is secretly hilarious).

Also I just want to live somewhere that has the best basketball teams (NCAA + NBA)
