Panama Update #91
November 28, 2008
Last night we went out to dinner at an Indian restaurant called Masala with 4 other people. It was a different way to celebrate Thanksgiving, but was fun. The rain here has continued now for about 6 straight days. It stops now and then, but it is much more than I have seen here before. Our new bamboo place mats are already turning green with mold from all the humidity, so we will have to switch to plastic.
We are planning for the house warming tomorrow from 2-4 PM in the afternoon. We invited all the people from Nikki's work and other people we have met here. Next Monday is a Panama Independence Day celebration and is a national holiday. Many people are leaving town for the weekend so we are not sure how many people will show up. If we don't have it tomorrow, we would need to wait until January, and then it wouldn't be much of a house warming.
We leave town in about 2 weeks (December 15) for an AGU convention Nikki has in San Francisco. We will then visit her mom and Red in Idaho and my Aunt Betty in LA, and return to Panama on December 27. A lot of people will know here will be dispersing over the holidays for a couple of weeks. Some will return and others will not. Many people come and go so we are making new friends and saying goodbye to others all the time.
