In January I journeyed to Central America for the first time!
My dear college friend Jessica,
who is working in Guatemala with International Justice Mission,
and I met up in Panama for a few days.
You might have heard of their canal.
In the metropolitan national park, we encountered mischievous monkeys...
...a surreptitious sloth, and crazy spiked trees.
One day we traveled to a little town in the crater of an extinct volcano.
El Valle is home to this quaint open air market...
...and legendary square trees.
Traveling in the footsteps of the dread Pirate Morgan,
we explored the ruins of Panama Viejo, the original city...
...and the subsequent colonial establishment, Casco Viejo.
On Sunday we worshipped with an extremely welcoming
Iglesia de Cristo (Church of Christ)
and enjoyed an afternoon at the beach. In January.
Adios, Panama City!
In other news, America's unemployment rate has dropped by one.
Two days after returning from Panama, I began an internship
with the Opinion Page of The Oklahoman!
I would be delighted for you to check out our website
and our blog
P.S. I do realize that "Lindsay in Italia" has been a misnomer for 381 days.
