Día 12: Un triste "adiós" a Panamá (y a Héctor)

  Today is our final day in Panama, and we can’t and don’t want to believe it is already over. Our last A-Term at POHS has flown by!  In honor of this special day, we woke up an extra hour early to watch the sunrise at the Cinta Costera. With tired eyes, we hobbled down the never-ending flights of stairs at La Isabela Suites and then carefully played real-life Crossy Road to dodge the speedy morning traffic. For a place where coffee shops don’t open until 9am, there sure are lots of early risers.  While the sky was a little cloudy, it was still beautiful when the sun rose above the clouds and lit up the colorful streets and structures of downtown Panama. The reflection on the ocean was almost blinding, which made “smiling” during Jessica’s photoshoot rather challenging. Turning away from the rippling waves, Casco Viejo from afar looks like one of those picturesque, 4000-piece puzzles.  After our morning sightseeing, Josey cooked one final breakfast using the remaind...

Day 5: Un Reunion Para Recordar

Josey:  T-8 hours I woke up early this morning to go to the Cinta Costera to watch the sunrise, something Kiki had recommended I do. Although it was a little cloudy, it was still beautiful to see the bright orange color illuminate the water and reflect on the shiny buildings of the city. After the sun had risen, I returned to the apartment to get ready to finish up my first week of classes.  T-7 hours I arrived at class and we got right to work with reviewing and continuing to practice por vs. para. Héctor had prepared many online quizzes to help us differentiate and walked us through many more examples. While it was still a little confusing to differentiate between reasons and objectives, two hours later I was feeling much more confident than I had before.  T-5 hours After we had done sufficient review, we moved on to a new topic: preterito indefinido. This is something that I have learned in the past, so it wasn’t too difficult for me to understand, I just had to rememb...

Día 10: Una Sudorosa Visita al Icónico Canal

This morning we got ready a little earlier and decided to make a quick coffee run before school. This would give us a chance to practice our Spanish and get a boost of energy before our four hours of classes. Unfortunately, we quickly realized that Panamanians do not run their coffee shops with the same sense of urgency and efficiency as the US. Not only were NONE of the stores open yet (it was 8am!), but the one store that was open was…well, let us explain. After walking around for a few minutes, we located the singular shop that was open and slipped in thinking 10 minutes should still be plenty of time to get a cup of coffee. Turns out, it was nowhere near “quite enough time” so it was slightly embarrassing to stumble into our class a few minutes late, but luckily not any later than our classmate Felizando. Also, to our surprise, Ervan was also there. Turns out he had just skipped school yesterday, but he was back and Sutton was able to finally put a name to the stories.  During ...
