Catching Up

Guess trying to crank out a blog every week was just not meant to be. Its amazing how quickly time has been flying by and before I knew it we have only 13 more days left in Panama. 13 days to finish off our project, 13 days to soak in as much 90 degree sunny days as possible, 13 days before I return to my life in the United States.

While I love my life in Panama, I am so ready to go home. I miss everyone dearly and am very much looking forward to all the reunions I get to have. I want to be able to cuddle with Rupert, hang out with my housemates for one of our movie marathons, paint the town red on Thursday nights with some of my favorite people, cook for myself, have access to a flushing toilet and a hot shower, sleep in my queen sized bed in a room I'm not sharing with 22 other people, buy whatever I want whenever I want, see my family, hang out with my 'kinky' family, reconnect with good friends, have unlimited internet and electricity access, drive myself, sleep... On the flip side I'm going to miss unlimited access to all of this tropical beauty, bright sunny days, time spent hunting for a hint of flower color in a forest of green, always being on the go, day trips to beautiful historic locations, being immersed in another culture, having a chance to practice my Spanish, hiking... Though I'm sure I'll start to miss these things more once I am parted from them, I cannot fight the urge inside of me to return to my life at home.

I have decided that, since I have fallen so very much behind on updating everyone to how my life is going in Panama, I am going to follow up this post with posts containing everything that I have done/seen/thought for the past month, so look forward to that!

Now to hope that someone lets me borrow their computer to fulfill this ambitious undertaking... Wish me luck
