Sara was fated to swim in the fountain on her birthday as a Nole

But we couldn't find a fountain and the Canal was too deep.

This is the vegetable market that I went to last Saturday.

Yep. I spent two days on a beautiful little ISLAND on the Caribbean Sea.  This is Kuanidup at sunset

Awesome! I didn't chase him down and try one 'cause I was too busy trying to take a picture.

Parala!

First experience riding the city bus. The whole time I kept getting flashbacks of something...

Pick-up games every night! This is what I'll be doing every night, taking pictures, 'cause I'm a lamo and hurt my knee the first weekend here. : (

Here's the National Theater, I want to try to go to a show sometime during the semester.

Quite a few of us have tried to expand our cooking skills and tastes to local varieties.

Carolyn couldn't help putting an American twist on our food though. Yes, that is Peanut Butter and Jelly.
