How was the weather this week?:

The weather this week was so different from how it's been these past few months. Winter, or the rainy season, is slowly approaching, and this Monday it rained for the first time in four months. I was so amazed to see it after so many days of drought. On Wednesday, it poured for about an hour, which here, people call an aguacero (downpour). However, for the rest of the week, it was typical Panamanian summer weather: hot, dry and a bit windy.

What animals did I see this week? :

This week I saw quite a few street dogs and cats, usually what I see daily walking down the street to work. I also saw some calves outside of town. There are a lot of ranchers around here, so there are always a ton of cows.

What was the coolest thing I saw in nature this week?:

On Wednesday I was able to go to the finca behind my host family's house and try marañon curazao (Malay rose apple) with my host brother and sister. It was super delicious and tasted kind of similar to a pear.
