panamá, how i love you so.


coming home from my trip was fun. i got to open my room and say hello to my recently molded clothes. apparently, if you go somewhere for 2 weeks and leave you room in the humidity and it is closed up in the dark, everything you own turns into a big, moldy mess. not so much fun. but after 2 washes and a spin in the dryer, my clothes are now fine. except for one shirt that has nice little black dots creeping up the front of it. my purse has that too. i wish i could say it is some intricate and stylish embellishment, but no. it's mold. new for fall 2007.

also, i was at the mall in panamá city one day, in the food court ready to order something other than white rice and a hard-boiled egg. that's when i saw something out of the corner of my eye that stopped me in my tracks. some teenaged boy was in a mac dre tee! very hyphy, with glitter and all. it had mac's face and said ¨r.i.p. mac dre.¨ it also had all the area codes from the yay on it. i started cracking up, but since the girl i was with is from maryland, she didn't get it. i really wished that someone from home was there to share the moment. :(

and in other news, we had a big softball tournament this last weekend in out training community to help raise money for education. we had a bunch of teams play, sold food, and had a raffle. it actually turned out really well and the people had a lot of fun. unfortunately, i don't have my camera on me, but next time i'm at an internet café i'll try to post some pictures from the event.

signing out, this is coco robinson.
ready to take on more mold and any other ridiculous panamanian situation.
