FROM THE BAY AREA TO PANAMAAAAA!!
Student Trip Blog
Good evening to everyone tuning in to todays blog. It’s todays leaders — Liya, Carlie, Alfi and Layla! Today has been very eventful, once glimpsers got together, we were driven to a Panamanian family bakery, and were greeted by the owners- Orlando and his family. For breakfast they made us a traditional Panamanian breakfast of bakery-made bread, sausage, cheese along with a home-made drink made of corn milk, chicheme. They allowed us a view into their daily life letting the glimpsers knead and bake bread. The family collected mangos and gifted them to us- we ate them the all day (sorry parents, we cant bring them back.) As a parting gift they gave us our delicious hot bread to eat.
But it was only a beginning of our day. Next, we got on the bus and started our trip to la playa (the beach). There was a happy atmosphere on our road trip, singing, dancing, and enjoying everyone’s presence. We were catching every wave together and our laughs were very loud. 😉 Our villa for the day also consisted of a pool, la piscina! The glimpsers spent the day playing pool games, tanning and surfing the waves. Once we got tired we were fed a yummy meal to eat while bathing in the sun enjoying the ocean breeze.
We also spent the day immersing ourselves deeper into the Panamanian culture, through dance. We got to know our special guest, Maykeld Wong. He was the funniest, coolest, dancing dude! He taught us three traditional Panamanian dances which we learned with a happy beat.
Our day concluded with free time once we returned to our hotel. We got to explore Chitre, our cozy little village, and take a relaxing shower to recover from the day. :))
