I am still in avid waiting to take the midnight bus to Panama City. I hate getting there at night so I'm on this bus arrives at 530 AM where I will meet up with the other monkey researchers.

Bugging out in Panama

I have so many bites and picasones, I'm itchy, from the bugs here. On Isla Popa there were chitras/ sandflies which can drive any ngabe or gringa loca, colradios/ciggers which itch for weeks ans zancaudo/ mosquitos which are not as bad since it is the dry season, even in Bocas. I wonder what awaits me the next 9 days in Soberana National Park and Gamboa.

Coconut Oil

I'll put up some pictures and another description later but I helped Clementina make coconut oil on Tuesday. She gave me some to bring home and some of it leaked all over my bag. Atleast it smells good.

Take care.

Ticks!
that is what awaited me in Gamboa and on Barro Colrado Island. I pulled 5 tiny ticks off today in San Diego!
