Panama Update #122
January 24, 2009
Our two visitors left early this morning (Saturday). They had a busy week, as you can see by the pictures that follow this entry. Most of the days were filled to the brim, except for yesterday, when they had a chance to slow down a bit. Yesterday morning they spent some time at the library of the organization where Nikki works. We ate lunch on the campus and Swami Ritavan met with one of the Yoga students here who is interested in coming to teacher training this summer in St. Paul. In the afternoon they rested and caught up on emails and we went for a short walk before sundown. Eric went out to the mall to see a movie in the afternoon, but found out it was dubbed in Spanish and decided not to stay. He had a big accomplishment this week in taking a taxi to the mall on his own and finding his way back to our apartment. It is not easy since no one goes by the names of the streets, only by landmarks and directions.
Last night we stayed in and Nikki cooked a tradional Shabbat dinner. After dinner they packed and got ready to leave.
Today we did some laundry, rested a bit, and caught up on some chores. We may go see the new Tom Cruise movie Valkyrie (sp?) later on. Our next set of guests, my sister and her friend Pat, arrive in a couple of days.
