So last year I spent a month in Costa Rica (Tamarindo) working on my Spanish. I lived at the beach, got sunburned, learned some Spanish, met some nice folks, and had a great time overall enjoying the Pure Vida lifestyle. In fact, I had such a good time, I've decided to do it again. This year, I'll be in the town of Boquete, Panama. Boquete is a medium sized town in the mountains and is known for their amazing coffee and outdoor recreation (hiking, white water rafting, climbing, etc.). They are also known for their moderate climate of 60-80 degrees year around. Once again, I'll be going to school for 4-6 hours per day, living with a Panamanian family, and "immersing" myself in the culture (maybe actually learning to salsa this year).
I'm flying into Pamana City tomorrow and will catch a bus (7 hour bus ride) to David on Sunday. Hopefully, someone from the school will meet me in David and drive me into Boquete. If not, I may be sleeping on the steps on the school until Monday AM.
Enjoy the BLOG. I'll try to update it regularly.
Hasta Panama!

Hi Jason

Hola, Yason,
Are you going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Panama this weekend?
I don't know if that's only in Mexico, or is a holiday elsewhere.
Do fill in the blanks for some of us armchair travelers. I'm actually still "catching up" since returning home on Sunday P.M.
Dios te bendiga!
Tu Madre, Evita:)
