Panama Update #95
December 7, 2008
While Nikki was busy working today (Sunday) I did some errands around town. I bought some holiday gifts, fancy imported sweets, for the people we work with. The Kosher Grocery has all sorts of specialty items like that. We were also craving our new favorite drink, Agua de Pipa (coconut water) so I ran out to another store to get that. Sundays are easiest for shopping since the traffic is not bad and it is easy to find a taxi. Tomorrow I am going to show some new friends here the giant outdoor fruit market that we shop at since they have never been here before. It is Mother's Day in Panama tomorrow, and it is a national holiday, so the school where I work is closed. There sure are a lot of holidays here in November and December. They also have a big carnival in February and another big break later in the spring. The weather here has been much drier lately and some people are saying that it is now switching to the dry season, where it doesn't rain much for about 3 months. Everyone seems excited about that since there has been so much rain lately.
