Sorry about last post folks! I was feeling kinda bummed...but as soon as I got back to site I was back in the groove! No worries its all good :) I got to go hang out with my Panamanian mom, Melania, and order was restored in my little world.
The poroto (red bean) harvest is in full swing and everyone is working to get everything out of the fields before it gets damaged. I helped the teacher carry food to the fields for her workers. And I helped my neighbor Mila get rid of all the dirt and dead leaves so they could sell them. I am waiting for my personal cut since their pig ate mine!
One of the G70 aspirantes, Kathleen, came to visit my site this weekend. It was nice to have someone at the house and to just hang out. It was cool because we had things going on for her to see! There was another little fiesta for the kids where they played games and got gifts. And we went to a baseball game is Chepo which Los Virotales won! Woot woot! I have apparently become the "madrina" to the team and I am going to be getting some type of shirt. I am not quite sure what kind of shirt this will be since they don't even have matching uniforms.
In my happiness of being back, of course something had to go wrong. I got fairly ill Monday night from who knows what. And let me tell you, vomiting in a latrine is as horrible as it sounds. I felt awful and weak the next day, but by Wednesday I was almost all better. Gotta love Panama and its surprise illnesses! NOT.
