Vistitors

So I thought I would share with you guys some of the time I spent here with my sister Karla and my girlfriend Tricia, who came down here to visit me for Christmas and New Years. I was really happy to be able to spend time with them, I was really missing them a lot since I got here, and so seeing them was really really good and I wish they were still here. Tricia has already been to Panama since she already went on STINT here in Panama the year before I came on STINT, but this was my sisters first time in Panama, and I think she really enjoyed it. I couldn't show her everything Panama had to offer, since she was only here for about two weeks and long days of traveling require long days of rest too. But my sister really enjoyed her time here. She especially liked the Casco Viejo, which is the old cobble stone streets part of Panama and the valley town of El Valle, which sits about and hour and a half away from Panama city. Down there, you'll see a picture of a whole turkey dinner that Wes and I prepared for Christmas. We had actually lost a game of cranium against the girls, and the prize was that we would cook a turkey Christmas dinner for them for the new years. It was actually an awesome experience and we had a lot of fun cooking it all ourselves (with the exception of the salad, which Tricia offered to help with). Here are some pictures :)

Here's Tricia helping a student out with one of his paint project.
