Our visit to the Embera Tribe. They live on a dam called Lake Alajuela on the upper side of the Chagres River, an hour away from Panama City plus 45 minutes by canoe. 






The Chief 

 They caught us local fish from the river...delicious!  The meal was followed by a beautiful traditional dance.

Andrew and I took spanish classes for the first two weeks at EPA and these are our classmates from all over the world.  Our spanish has improved and will be helpful for our upcoming travels. 
Lauren and Ryan came our second week to accompany us on some fun adventures. We took them to our local bar, Totos
Andrew has seen the Panama Canal many many times...never ceases to amaze

    Looks like a blast! That's great you took a Spanish crash course. Stacy used to live in Malpais & Santa Theresa - great area, beaches were rugged. I visited for a week: I had read Spanish For Dummies the previous 2 months to be ready. WRONG. I have never been so quiet my entire life. Couldn't understand a word - everyone spoke way too fast for me. The monkeys were a lot of fun! Thanks for posting a blog!

      Thats amazing Stacy lived there! We rented ATV's in Montezuma and rode over to Malpais coming across a bunch of monkeys on the way. I feel the same way with the language, it is so fast making the learning process a bit scary. Its great to hear from you! Will you send me Stacy email so i can get in touch with her.
