In Panamà!

This is my third day at my host family and my fifth day in Panamà, so far I love it. It´s hot all the time, and humid most of the time but it´s great anyway and you get used to it. I´m uploading pictures to facebook right now, so soon you will be able to see all that I´m doing. The keyboard is different here, so it´s hard to have the right punctuation.. My host family speaks almost no english, so I´m learning spanish really fast and communicating in Spanish is becoming a lot easier. The past three days have been really fun, I´ve been hanging out with a few other exchange students, their brothers and Israel, one of the AFS volunteers. We´ve been talking a lot in spanish (and some in German) and having lessons from the Panamanians. Yesterday we went to David on the bus (only 70 cents or so for a thirty minute ride), went shopping, got uniforms for school and ate at McPato, a fast food place very similiar to McDonalds, (Pato means duck). At the orientation near Panama city I ate more than ten mangoes, you can just pick them off the trees here, and they are so yummy! The food is so good, and fattening. Everything is accompanied with rice, and all the meat is fried, as are the vegetables. I´m trying to eat more fruit, and not eat so much bad stuff, but it´s very hard when you know that everything is so good. I don´t really miss home, but I miss the people, it´s not bad though when I think about where I am. I´m sure it will get worse. Can´t wait to share more, I have to go do laundry! Bye, Hasta Luego!
