Crossing the Isthmus

Day 9- August 15, 2015

Up at 6, we ate quickly and were in the bus terminal at 8. Disappointed to find there was no daytime direct bus to Bocas, we settled for the longer Panama-David-Changuinola route. After 11 hours on a bus, the last 5 of which were incredibly trying due to an over packed bus going through mountain passes, we collapsed into beds at the Volunteer house of Chang just before midnight. Ben felt sick, I was exhausted, and it was raining. 

On the way, we finalized our travel adventures wish list. Adventures should include, but are not limited to:

☐    Scuba Diving
☐    Zipline
☐    Tequila Night in Mexico
☐    Visit at least 1 PCV per country
☐    Climb an Active Volcano
☐    Cliff Jumping
☐    See Aztec Ruins
☐    See Mayan Ruins
☐    Swim in Lake Nicaragua
☐    Artisan Markets
☐    Art Museums
☐    Theatre & Concerts
☐    See a Jaguar
☐    Ride Sea Turtles
☐    More Scuba Diving
☐    Visit a Brewery
☐    Get Lost in the Jungle & Survive by our Wits
☐    Kick it with the ‘Gente’


Looks like a good start.


Today I'm grateful my entire life fits into one backpack!

#thirdworldproblems

A cow ate my underwear off of the clothesline. My bug bite started growing. There's a ______ on my _________. My pillow molded. I got stuck in the mud up to my knees and my neighbor had to come pull me out. I fell in the latrine and was shouting for help for 6 hours before someone found me. My bus broke down on the side of the road in the jungle at night. FARC stopped and helped us jump the battery. There's a 250 lb pig in my canoe. I took a shower in the rain. Halfway through shampooing, the rain stopped. I can't build my house this week because the moon isn't right. I can't teach English at the school this week because it is possessed and needs to be exorcised. I can't remember if I took my malaria pills this week or not. I have a double infected foot fungus. I ate an endangered animal, and it was the best tasting thing I'd had in weeks. I don't know what I am eating. I DO know what I am eating. I missed my pee cup. My boat ran out of gas halfway upriv

"...Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

After an excruciatingly long and arduous 9 hour bus trip, I was finally able to open my letter. I will be going to HONDURAS and I start orientation on FEB 22nd. I will be in training in Honduras then until May 12th when I move out to my site and then will finish my contract with the PC on May 12th 2014. My job title is 'Environment and Water Extensionist' meaning that I work with other government agencies and private voluntary organizations like Engineers Without Borders to:  1. To design and provide technical support for the rehabilitation, construction, or expansion of rural water and sanitation systems. 2. To provide training of rural community water associations and system operators. 3. To deliver environmental and sanitation education to community groups. There's another 20-some pages describing what all of that means, but I'll spare you those details. Right now I have a ton of things to read and an acceptance letter to write to officially accept my

$omething They Forgot to Mention...

Getting ready to go on this adventure is expensive. I mean, we're not talking college tuition or buying a house expensive. Just recent-college-grad-living-paycheck-to-paycheck expensive. Sure, PC will give a living allowance and a regular 'salary' once I am sworn in, and during training we'll have some 'pocket money', but for this part, the between time from accepting the invitation to getting on that plane has its costs. First, I need stuff. I am a theatre technician and run around all day in paint covered jeans and tank tops. Neither are going to be good choices for Honduras as they are not professional enough for the situation nor appropriate for the weather. (Jeans in that kind of humidity? Gross.) So some new wardrobe pieces are essential. Also, last Christmas my laptop died, and I bought a stellar new one. An expensive, fast processing, great graphics card, 17" screen laptop that is wonderful for AutoCAD, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and my design wo
