| 15th October 2007 Sandra | - From: My shot was on Fire! hi pepita, me alegra que estes muy bien,hasta hoy pude seguir con tu diario. Llegaron a ir a la mitad del mundo?,es un lugar bellisimo,tu hubiera recomendado a ir a Galapagos en vez de Quito,Galapagos es mucho mas bonito y interesante que la capital,pero no se si ya fuiste. Te acuerdas de el trago que te recomende que tomaras en San Andres,que te lo podias tomar gratis en el hotel?,pues es el cucaracho.Te dije que lo trataras!!!!!!(viste de lo que te perdiste?).En San Andres era lo unico que yo tomaba,que borracheras la que me di con mi mama. Pepita por que no has vuelto a poner fotos?,aun tu amigo tiene tu camara?.Ojala pudieras poner mas fotos. Saludos de todos,besos y abrazos de mi,te quiero y te extraño mucho |
| 14th October 2007 Naty | It's just survival - From: TRIBE YOu are so silly Nana.. everyone has to survive somehow and that is how they do it. |
| 13th October 2007 evel_can_evel | globalization - From: TRIBE basically because of the governemnet involovement they are no longer the people they once was...my visit to the tribe made me feel like i was at disney...and i could feel that they really had no desire to be performing the things they were for us...but if they dont they dont make money...so instead of doing the things they normally do , they now own a business, they tribe and way of life is there simply to make money |
| 12th October 2007 Nathan | hello - From: TRIBE I do not understand. How is it that they do not have a sense of self? Maybe it is that they just adapted to the changing times and surrounding. Maybe it was a matter of change or die. Is that the case or was it something else? |
| 12th October 2007 Naty | Hello - From: the rest of what happened in panama hi nana: We miss u so much! Nonetheless, I am so glad that you are having such a great time. All inclusive is the best!

| 2nd October 2007 evel_can_evel | the canal - From: I am currently in the Panama Canal!!! yea i def. know what its like to be you, i had this fear that we were going to get stuck at a lock going through the canal. and each one takes forever becuse of all the traffic. the cannal is really tight we seriously had a couple feet from each side. but you def. gotta do it one day i am sure youd love it., |
| 2nd October 2007 evel_can_evel | you have no idea - From: I am currently in the Panama Canal!!! the days are flying i cannot believe its been a month already like i am in shock. but i can just imagine how enormous you must be becausr you were huge the last time i saw you. but i think catherine is going to be born in october not nov....i dont know why i think this but i have this feeling that its gonna be at the end of the month...but keep me posted.....but as soon as i get off the boat im gonna try and call you guys.....give briana a big kiss for me and tell mami i miss her |
| 2nd October 2007 evel_can_evel | pepita - From: Why is everyone so sick? of course i was not going to send a post card to everyone and not to you:-D besides i think it would be really amazing if you put it in denzel album so he could keep them as a memory. the people that were sick one had an ulcer and the other had an epileptic attack. but apparently a few more are leaving in panama so i dont know what is going on. but give denzel a hug and i lvoe you |
| 2nd October 2007 Nathan | Now you know? - From: I am currently in the Panama Canal!!! So now you know what a lock is. Now you are starting to see and feel what it is that I do. It is a totally different world the boat life. It is just something about the water. It has a certain effect. |
| 2nd October 2007 Nataly | HI - From: I am currently in the Panama Canal!!! Hi Nana: Sorry it took me so long to write you. Still, I think about you everyday and miss you a lot. Briana misses you too. She continues to look for you among all the girls that looks like you on the street. She also has taken over your sliver shiney purse and uses it for play when we go over to mami's house. My belly is super duper big. The baby seems to be growing a lot. I am now 33 weeks and waiting. We we are getting anxious and can't wait to see our baby girl. I am so glad that you have new family within the ship. I hope you don't get booted out. :) Time seems to be going really quick, so enjoy you time and make the most of it. Just be careful. I called the calling card that mami got you and they gave me access numbers for both Panama and Ecuador. I will send them to you in a private message.. We are going to see Elmo LIVE on Friday. :) I am super excited to see how BRiana will react. Mami says hi. She misses you and askes about you daily. :) Anyway, have fun in Panama and hope to hear from you soon. |

| 25th September 2007 Jen | Aww... the joys of wine~ - From: Too much wine HellO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW frist of I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK! Dont you hate that feeling of waking up and being like OMG!!! What teh helll did we talk about last night! Fun times fun times!!!! ohhh and as for the restaurant thing! I think people just are affraid to say anything because they are not sure of themselves! You are and you always will be! So just be glad that you did what came natural which is to prove a point! :-) Learn from others and hope other will learn from you! Anyway LOVE YOU TONS!!!!!!!!and miss you more than you know! xoxoxox myhnfvtgrtfgrttyjyhjhbjknkljkm thats from bella! Sebastians says: hi have fun on your boat! I made two goals at soccer! I miss you |
| 25th September 2007 evel_can_evel | - From: Too much wine yea it was def. a shitty situation, the problem with the others standing up and joing me is that they are not use to it. Not use to speaking there mind or being aggresive abou anything. And i know I shouldnt be the one person that simply understands everyone else, and never am the one being fully undestood, but i gess its my nature to be that way. I feel like i have gained so much american pride on this experience. Its crazy like when I get home i want to purchase a flag. But i have 3 months to show them that being american is def. not a bad thing. But they have to see it experiecne it themselves, with this crowd of people words, does nothing. So i am sure during time they will have a new view of americans. And perhaps, they see that what i did was really not all that bad. |
| 25th September 2007 Nathan | I see. - From: Too much wine I know what you are saying about trying to build a community, and trying to blend in. From what I have read though, there are times that you must stand and be defined by who you are. The group left you standing in the resturant. They may have not agreed with you, but it sounds like they could of help in some manner as to try and settle the situation. Not sit there and say that you are american like it is a bad thing. You know me well Eli. It is not a matter of us being american. I know that america has many things that could be changed and improved. It is the generalize us that I and I know you do not like. That is what you should help them to see. Not how great america is, but how you treat them and don't judge them, that you would like to be treated the same way. I remember the fire in yours eyes when you made it clear to me that mexican is not a language. You showed me the error in my way. I was wrong and you made me understand. You did not get angry you just guided me. You know what I am trying to say. P.S. I don't think that you have to worry about what you said with your teachers. That is funny though. |
| 24th September 2007 evel_can_evel | thanks - From: fonda resturant im veyr glad u got a chance to read it, i dont blame u at all if u dont u have a crazy busy life. but give the baby lost of love . love ya. nana |
| 24th September 2007 evel_can_evel | seems so easy - From: fonda resturant i am not in the right postion at the moment to be explaining to eveyone why my culuture is so great. its as if we are like building a community on board, where there are no culutres. at the present moment its best to blend. but thanks for the motivation :) |

| 24th September 2007 Nathan | American We Are - From: fonda resturant Eli, we are americans. And you have every right to be proud of it. We complain when something is not right or should be fixed or the quality sucks. That is where customer service and satisfaction comes in. We always strive to be better and want the best. If they want to sterotype us as Americans. Then ask them why everyone wants to be american but for some reason they hate us. They knock you because you are american. Well let them know why it is so great to be american. |
| 23rd September 2007 Nataly | Funny experience! - From: fonda resturant You are kind of old to be realizing that here is much more in the world other than you, don't you think? hahaha. Just kidding. At least you are learning and growing through all these experiences. I was close to you age to, when I learned that you cant always speak your mind inevery situation because sometimes there is just no point other that to make others feel uncomfortble. WE miss you and think about you always. |
| 20th September 2007 Kilate | I finally made it to your blog! - From: fonda resturant Sorry for not exploring your blog earlier; adjusting to motherhood has kicked my butt! I managed to read from the very first one to the latest one and it's truly amazing the experience you're having. You writing style is so real...containing sadness and laughter along with deep thought. I found myself looking forward to the next journal. You're awesome at capturing your experience in writing! All these high's and low's that you're going through will only strengthen you and make you a better balanced individual. Live it up, be safe, study hard, and keep us posted... |
| 20th September 2007 Sandra | hi pepo!!! - From: Wake up, wake up, wake up.
