This is the (interestingly) decorated kitchen in our hostel, where Jen and I spent many laborious hours cooking....aka chopping up some fresh vegetables from the local market and boiling some water for pasta.
Hmmm. I think this picture deserves a bit of explanation...So this past week was Carnvial, which is only really celebrated in certain cities (like Panama City, for example, was completely booked for over a week!). However, on the last night of celebrations, Jen and I ventured into the nearby town of Dolega, where we were told there would be tons of festivities. (Translation: there would be a cockfight.)
We stood out just a little bit (picture two gringas in spring dresses amidst 60 year old panamanian cowboys), but it actually worked to our advantage as we were treated like royalty and ushered right into the arena to watch the fights. But first, we had to chose our lucky bird, hence the picture!
The big fight!
(Ours won, by the way)
