The first half of our internship is over, and I’ve been trying for days- actually, I’ve been trying for the last 6 weeks- to put into words what this experience means to me. Being in Panama, the places we’ve seen, the view overlooking Tres Brazos, the glint of the sun off the rio, the feeling of being in an aquacero, how green the trees around our composts are, how much fun I have with this new family of interns I’ve found myself living with, everything is just too hard to describe. So, instead of words, I’m using pictures and (rather shaky) videos. Welcome to Panama; welcome to paradise!
