Coolest Dog Ever
I love Annie, and I'm not at all saying that this dog is cuter than her, but I must admit that it is a little bit cooler. This is our friend Steve's dog Murphy. We are going to steal him. Very soon.
I just found out this morning that I'm going to spend the weekend in Chiriqui (the red-orange province right by Costa Rica) to work with the Peace Corps on a sea turtle conservation project! I'm so excited!

Animal Encounters
I had the most interesting cab ride the other day. The driver looked hesitant to let me in the car. He told me he had an animal with him. I looked in the back seat, and saw something I have never seen before in my life. It had a raccoon's tail, but a face reminiscent of an anteater. It was adorable. I hopped in.
So the whole way home the driver told me all about Chuy, his beloved pet. He called it a gato solo, but I later realized it is what we call a coatimundi. Chuy is about the size of a cat, but he's only six months old, and the guy says he'll grow big as a dog!

Playa Gorgona
While I was there I got incredibly homesick ... for La Boca (the neighborhood I live in). I couldn't believe how much I missed my housemates. We're just like a crazy little family in our big, gecko-filled, ant-infested house, and I missed it terribly for the three days I was away.
I just love this country. And a Panamanian told me I speak beautiful Spanish. Yay.
I feel like I am going to get so homesick when I go to California for Christmas, because this is where my life is right now. I mean, I have a Blockbuster card down here and everything.
