Panama Update #90
November 26, 2008
It has been raining here for about the last 3 days, almost nonstop. This is the longest wet streak since I have been here. I noticed that in our new apartment, the wireless internet does not work when it is raining for some reason, so I have not written in the blog since for 3 days or so. I have been busy again with the airlines. There has been an ongoing problem with Nikki's ticket to San Francisco since wh change the return flight from Houston back on October 10. I won't go into all the mess, but I have spent literally hours on the phone with Delta, American, and Travelocity. We are supposed to go to SF in about 2 weeks (Dec. 15) and are trying to confirm the ticket.
Nikki is busy preparing for a big talk she gives here in 2 weeks about her Ethiopian research and she is also preparing a poster for her SF conference on her work down here. We are also getting ready for the house warming that we are having this Saturday in our new apartment. We have invited all the people that Nikki works with and also a few others. We plan to shop at the Kosher Market tonight for all the supplies.
For Thanksgiving tomorrow I plan to work since it is not a holiday here. We are planning to have dinner with Nikki's colleague (David). He is originally from Minnesota and has been here for a few months. His parents are visiting this week and we are all planning to meet and go out to a restaurant for dinner.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!
