getting ready for the country shift

---

It is my second to last day in Panama. I have my plane ticket to Colombia and I just heard about a boat going to Colombia. I met a guy who is going on a sailboat strait to the Galapagos , that would be amazing. I am not doing much in Panama City, I am working on my Peace Corps application mostly. The website currently says that to get placed for summer 2011 applications should be in before July 1st. There are rolling applications but if that's what they suggest that's what I'm aiming for. I am not a fan of writing resumes (I know I have old copies on other people computers, but not on mine!) or essays! Anyone want to write them for me or at least edit them?


I hung out with Nico and 3 friends of his, who all happen to go be USF students or alum. I got their info we are going to hang out back in the US hopefully. Earlier in the trip I met this great couple, (who remind me of Audrey) from St. Pete who I will hopefully see back in the US too. It really is a small world. Last night we had the best conversation about restaurants and mainly TRANGS! Then we went to a Caribbean restaurant, which I wasn't stoked about because usually vegetarian options are limited but this place was amazing. I got their only vegetarian option a coconut infused veggie dish. It was AMAZING probably the best meal I have had this trip. She used basil with the coconut and probably evaporated milk. They had homemade I had ginger pineapple juice to drink and we shared coconut flan for dessert. If anyone is in Panama City go to El Caribe. I tried the curry chicken and jerk chicken and they were great also. MMM I think this is a sign I should be cooking lunch right now... more later.
