“You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!” -Dr. Seuss
But first, FYI: Today I made the switch to using Tumblr as my main blog...space. You can look here in the future for my photos, quotes, and ramblings.
So, I've been living on my own in Panama for a little over a month now! It hasn’t completely felt like it considering our two-week training in a different province and my other miscellaneous adventures but little by little I’m making it “home”.
I've got my own bed, refrigerator, stove, and ... roommates?
There’s a scorpion and a large brown spider who also live here. I don't think they're paying rent and I'm too nervous to ask them to contribute. I had an iguana house-sit for me while I was away on official Peace Corps business. That was really nice of him, considering I never requested it. Finally, there is a bat that likes to make an appearance in the mornings. I appreciate the motivation to start the day off with an interpretive dance...avoiding frantic dive bombs while I try to make breakfast.
It rained yesterday and it was AMAZING to watch. The road in front of my house turned into a solid stream of water...a mud slip-n-slide...A REASON TO CUDDLE UP AND DRINK TEA.
