Back from "East La Popa"

---

I am now in a very purple hostel in David, Chiriqui Panama. I left Isla Popa in the morning and spent the day in Bocas with Clementina and her family. I forgot how hot Bocas is and how fast I burn here! I was a little bummed I didn't get to eat my favorite food, jonny cake, beacsuae it wasn't made yet. I was able to get one later in Almirante though.

Isla Popa was good to see again. Yesterday, several groups of tourists came by to see the community, buy beadwork and chacaras and play volleyball. It was a little strange to be on the otherside of tourism-They were staring at me and wondering why I was there! I ended up taking the first group around the community because they spoke english.

In the afternoon yesterday I played volleyball, the new sport of choice for Isla Popa and bingo. It was a long day but fun.

I will write more later!

Mom- Clementine says hello and thank you so much!
