Reanna "the teacher"

Here is Reanna doing what she loves, teaching the kids at the school next door. When she gets there she's always met with smiling faces. She was recently invited to two parties, one in town with the "gringo" friends, and one at the school to celebrate a Panamanian holiday. She chose the school party to our surprise, and walked through the jungle to be there by 8A.M. Her reward? Seeing another culture celebrate, and include her in the fun. They even asked her to dance. It was not really slow, but the guy puts his hand on the girls waist, and the girl puts her hand on his shoulder, and then kind of swish side to side. At least that's how she explained it. There were also contests to see who could climb a post put into the ground 20 feet high, which challenged up to five grown men at a time to stand on each other. And of course the Panamanian favorite, arroz con pollo. (rice and chicken) Now that Spanish isn't as much of a challenge, Reanna is moving on to learning Ngobe as well.
