Panama Update #133

Panama Update #133
February 16, 2009

The internet has been down in our apartment for the last few days so it is more difficult to keep up with the blog. On Saturday, Valentine's Day, we went out to Albrook Mall. Nikki wanted to do some shopping for her trip to Texas and then we went out to lunch. She found a couple of stores that she likes and there are more small sizes here than in the US, plus the clothes usual costs less than in the US. Yesterday I did a couple of hours of English tutoring and some shopping for the week while Nikki caught up on her work. I went off to work at the school this morning and Nikki's flight to Texas is scheduled to leave around 3:00 PM. She is expected to arrive there at 8:00 PM and then gives a lecture tomorrow. She is scheduled to return on Thursday (19th), which is her birthday. To celebrate we are going to a B and B in Cerro Azul, where Laurie and Pat went a couple of weeks ago. It is about an hour from the city, and a friend of Pat runs it. We will leave for the B and B directly from the airport on Thursday.
