The Never-Ending Stories of a Gal in Panama

Alright.  I can say it....  I like Panama.  It's taken a while and a lot of effort but I can admit it.  I like living here.  I have found a group of friends that I can see enjoying as much as the ones I miss, I've found an outlet for my creativity, and I am feeling healthier here (knock on wood).  Panama, as I've said, is not a "forever" place for me but I can be happy here for the next year and a half.  It took realizing that my family and my friends were going to love me no matter what to be able to settle in to Panama.  

There are so many things here that I haven't done and I am excited to do them!  I am living so far outside of my comfort zone and growing because of it.  I hiked a Volcano, BY CHOICE.  I am taking a trip this summer where I will have to walk for hours everyday for 15 days, I am performing in a play, and I even went to a movie by myself and enjoyed it.  I am happy with how things are going.....  Now, I am sure there are bad days to come because, let's face it, that's life but knowing that the days can be great will make them a bit easier to handle when they start rolling in.

So here are a few more pictures to share of what I've been doing:
