In the morning, we had our last day at the high school. We finished building the arch for the tree nursery and filled a bunch of dirt bags. Then the Panamian students had a culture dance performance where they danced for us and we danced with them. We also performed the Cupid Shuffle for them. After, we said our goodbyes and went to Dairy Queen for some quick ice cream where they refused to give me a glass of milk. Then we had the opportunity to dance more at our dance class. We learned how to dance the salsa and bachata. At the class, our instructor taught us the basic steps and even showed us some twists and turns. After we got back to the hotel, we walked over to a Mexican restaurant called “Los Aztecas” and watched the soccer game while eating. On our way back from the restaurant, we heard a marching band playing and went to watch it for a little bit. We were incredibly inspired by the Panamanian boys dressing up as girls and vice versa a little bit. As leaders, we grew greatly and had a truly eye-opening experience.
P.S. Charlie pooped his pants, and it smelled really good, we all had to clean it up off of the walls.
P.S.S. Just kidding

Hey Nikolai and Charlie, I wanted to write because I love some a lot of the pictures that you all shared. It looked like your delegation has really bonded.
It sounds like you had a busy day in the morning completing your CAP but then were rewarded in the evening with some fun activities and good luck.
Hearing that you all ‘heard a marching band playing’ and quite literally followed the music on a whim is what traveling can be all about, finding random local treasures that you didn’t expect to be there. Thanks for sharing your experience and giving me a smile.
