Oh my gosh!!!
So much to tell. There are so many people I have met, and there are still plenty more to meet. I feel so proud of myself for remembering everybodys name because thats something ive been working on. Usually im good at remembering faces but not names, so its good.
I was in San Jose and Ciudad Colon until the 13th. I was part of the beginning stages of a teaching campaign that just got started and it was a blast!! I got to make friends with the youth in the city and more community members. Now I can´t wait to go to the city once in a while to be with them.
August 13th
I got to meet Mateen (my partner in crime....and service). We rode the bus with Parviz and Ann Ighani (our hosts)to Conte (8hour drive). met many Guaymis there established a good first start. Mateen and I unloaded our luggage and put in rice sacks so we could carry our stuff on the horses. Don Jesus is the man! he´s a local who helped us. We took two horses up (Pinto and Mora). I guided Pinto. The walk was amazing and very stimulating to the mind. A lot of mud, rain, steep inclines, locals, noises, dinosaurs, river crossings and breathtaking views. 10 minutes close to home, we were walking on a 2 foot wide trail and then a 10 foot deep crevice next to us. It was night time by now and slipery....I tried to lead pinto as far away from the crevice, but as i was doing that, he fell into the ditch. Bobre modo (poor horse. in Ngabere(Guaymi language)).

...........

well there is so much more to talk about, but Mateen and I have to go to Laurel before we miss the bus.

MUCH LOVE!!!
