Whew!! What an adventure the last 24 hrs have been. I'm going to post some pictures and hopefully you can get an idea..? The pictures are of (in no particular order-sorry about that I don't know how to organize them) Jim's exhaustion, we were all at the airport from 1:30am til we caught a van taxi at 4:30am & there is a pic of our stuff loading his van down, then sleepy heads on the 7 hours bus ride, & the bathroom on the bus (if you can call it a bathroom.. we called it a "room with a view" -notice it's w/o curtains with pretty much a hole in a counter for the toilet. Hahaha, it was hilarious! And the way they drive those buses..! Put it this way, the drivers constantly made 2 lane roads a 3 lane. So we don't know how we made it alive but we did. Thank you Jehovah!




Doug and Peggy picked us up at the bus station in David and took us to their home, we then located Gail and Jim's home, then ours. Then we got a few groceries, pineapple, watermelon, coconuts, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, red leaf lettuce, cucumbers, oj, and stuff to make speghetti for the girls. Once home the girls helped me get all of our stuff unpacked and put where they go, then while I tried to get the internet going the girls made their speghetti and Zoe cut me up pineapple for dinner. The p-apple was delicious!!! After dinner the girls wanted me to cut open the coconuts. It was dangerous but I at least still have All my fingers :) Oh, I will post pics of our humble home tomorrow, we love it already!!



Hmm..just tried to do the "shower thing". That was interesting. Here in Panama you are doing really well if you have a hot water shower. We fortunately "have" one..but I guess I will need someone to show me how it works because we just tried it and Aliah and Asa got stuck taking a cool shower:( and now I'm not looking forward to my turn anymore.. The shower "heater" is, get this, an electronic device on the head of the shower sprayer.. Real safe :) and suposedly when the water is on it heats it.. but not tonight.. We will make due tho, this has been a really great day. Thanks for reading about our day. There is soooo much more I'd like to say but I'm sooo tired and need to go. Goodnight all <3
