Rockin the Isthmus: Family Visit 2010
http://rockintheisthmus.blogspot.com/2010/05/family-visit-2010.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. Mom and I on the beach at Grana de Oro, just off the Coast of Coiba Island. Grana de Oro is a tiny island surround by a large reef with crystal clear waters that are prefect for snorkeling. Coiba's waters are filled with a variety of brightly colored fish, as well as sea turtles and sharks. Locked up in Coiba's jail. Noriega was commandant of the jail in 1970's before he became president. Family photo in front of a fountain in Paradise Gardens, an animal rescue shelter in Boquete.

Rockin the Isthmus: Feria de Cucuá 2010
http://rockintheisthmus.blogspot.com/2010/05/feria-de-cucua-2010.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. Feria de Cucuá 2010. Hello everyone, here is the next installment of my much delayed blog. Hopefully, I'll catch up soon with my posts. The competition to split the coconuts was fierce. The first person to open three coconuts was declared the winner. These two men are racing to be the first to peel the bark from the cucua tree, though keeping the bark intact was just as important as peeling the bark quickly. In this photo, the woman is showing off her pollera, or traditional dress.

Rockin the Isthmus: November 2009
http://rockintheisthmus.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 15, 2009. Happy Birthsecond to Me! Today, I celebrate my 1,000,000,000th birthsecond yup that's right folks. I was born 1,000,000,000 seconds ago today. Unfortunately, I can't tell you which second it was specifically, because I'm just too lazy to calculate it, but since I was born around 6am, I think it should be around 7 or 8am. Monday, November 9, 2009. But that was not why we were there. We were there for the festival, and the festival was amazing. With that said, on to the photos.

Rockin the Isthmus: January 2010
http://rockintheisthmus.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 4, 2010. Workin' in the campo. A couple of months ago, my boss Tim came out for his annual visit. He managed to arrive just in to join a junta at my neighbor Gregorio's house. The neighbors had all gathered to dig out the foundation for his new house. Once we finished for the day, we sat down to pega barba and guarapo (alcohol made from fermented sugar cane juice.). The sloth crawled down from his tree to watch us work. A few of my fellow EHers: Dave, Meredith, Seth, Zach, and Jesse.

Rockin the Isthmus: September 2009
http://rockintheisthmus.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 30, 2009. I know it´s been a while since I last updated, so if you´re still reading the blog, thanks for sticking with it. I´ve got a year in review post coming up in a few weeks that will have more comment, but for now here are some pictures from Quebrada Grande. After months of searching, I finally found some sloths living in my site. Unfortunately, they don´t like to pose for photos, so you´ll have to put up with these fuzzy ones.

Rockin the Isthmus: December 2008
http://rockintheisthmus.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 21, 2008. I get this look ALOT! Not really joking, I get similar looks all the time. Luckily, the timing on this shot was perfect as this kid was checking out my camera and try to figure out what the heck it was. Saturday, December 20, 2008. This is my Christmas tree this year, as assembled by Jadi. Here are some photos of the general chaos that last for about 4 hours, just like a normal Christmas at home. Waiting in line for gifts. A broader view of the gift line. Enjoying the new toys.

Thursday, November 27, 2008. I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain. To those volunteers in the western half of the country, good luck and please pass along your stories.
