Panamá Day 7: Of Course You Do

Buenos días!  This morning we left at 9:30am for our LAST class at University of Panamá with a lady that gave us a potpurri of different indigenous dances of Panamá.  It was such a different and unique experience to participate with a folklore dance form and wear fun big skirts while twirling around moving our caderas!  It was so GREAT!

We were off at 9:30am in our big yellow school bus/van to The University of Panamá were the lovely Typhani (that I spoke off yesterday) would be teaching us, as well as the...
