Blog #3 by Katie Mayers

We have now come down to our last couple days in Panama. Although there are many great experiences that I could write about this trip, I have to say our trip to El Valle was one of the best experiences during these three weeks. Last weekend we took the two hour drive to El Valle. When we got there, we hiked up for four hours to the top of a mountain and saw the “sleeping Indian women.” Although the hike was very tiring, it was all worth it once we got to the top. The view was so beautiful and something that I will never forget. We then all went Zip Lining down the mountain, which was so much fun! The next day before we left, we all went Horseback riding down a trail surrounded by mountains.

Another day that I really loved was when we went to Las minas. We traveled an hour up a mountain to teach the children about hand washing and nutrition. Afterwards we gave each child a new pair of shoes. Seeing their faces had made traveling up that mountain all worth it. It was such a great and fulfilling day.
