ey guys left chicago on June 23rd and flew to Panama City, Panama. There are seven women with me. All who teach at uplift except Gabrielle who once worked there and mel who is a pt.
we arrived in panama at 7 at night in the pitch black there is not as much light pollution as chi so we were not used to the darkness. all the stores were closed in the area where our hostel was so we set out down the street to find food. we ended up at the euro cafe that was the only place open in our neighborhood. then back to our hostel which looked really shabby compared to the fancy euro diner!!! but it has air so that is sweet in fact it was cooler here than in the chi.
on wed we journeyed to the old town square where they declared independence from Columbia and we saw a church that had a massive gold alter that the priest painted black to prevent captin morgan from stealing it. the priest then convinced cap tin Morgan that he owed him money from his pirates stealing the alter. the priest swindled captin morgan, does that make him a sinner?
we also visited a cafe but it turned out to be a student center it was as if a bunch of foreign chicks rolled up into the holmes student center!!
today we saw the ruins from the town that captin morgan burned down. our hostel is full of characters one dude who was on his third Guinness when i got up for breakfast at 8!!
well tomorrow we journey on a super colorful school bus for 5 hours to the beach town of santa catalina
