More photos from Isla Grande




One Year In Site




This is from our 1-year-in-site trip.  We took the train to Colon.  Then we were supposed to take a bus and a boat to the island.  Well, there was a bus strike so we were stuck at the Colon bus terminal.  Our safety and security coordinator stepped in pretty quickly and contacted the Police department in Colon.  They came and made multiple trips to get all of us and all of our stuff to the police station where we hung out for about 4 hours while they got us our own bus to take us to the dock.  There was plenty of time for sleeping and playing games.

Canal Railway


This was taken on the train that runs along the canal.  Grandma would have loved this.  (Sorry we could not fit that in when our special visitors(the Gatlins) were down here... That just means you have to come back.)  The whole car is a window so you can see out on all sides.  And don't worry; I lost my awesome JLo sunglasses so you will not see them again.  I know they are a bit much but they were cheap and I needed sunglasses.

A Perfect Day


This is just a picture of a beautiful day in our site.  I took this on the way to the river after the seminar.  It was a perfect day for a swim.

Agribusiness in site


This is from the agribusiness seminar we did in our site.  We had a good turnout.  There were about 15 people who participated both Saturdays.  I believe I am laying some accounting knowledge on them in this picture.  Looks like a spreadsheet, eh?

Advance Cleaning


This is the kind of toothpaste that Lee likes and he can´t find it here in Panama. Our favorite thing to get from people is letters but if anyone feels like sending a little something with a letter you could get a bigger envelope and drop a tube of toothpaste in there and I know Lee would greatly appreciate it.
