chilling on Sunday...poker night

Today was fairly low key, slept late again…hung out reading in a rocking chair on the porch while drinking coffee in the morning. Went for a run in the afternoon. Made my homemade salsa…picked up chips and beers and ate the salsa (chappy called it chimichurri) with freddy, chappy, sol, liza and her boyfriend reece paulo. Afterwards we turned the evening into a texas holdem marathon…playing from 5 pm to 1:30 am…and finishing off 7 40oz Pilsens between the 5 of us. Midway through the game, Edgar, Rebecas friend from Panama called and with her help we finalized the details of my trip to Panama in 2 weeks to stay with Edgar (a biologist) who will take me for hikes around the Panamanian national parks with his trained eye and knowledge. Should be a fun trip…I’ll drop more news about my plans before the week is through. This is my last week at Habitat – I present all my work to the office on Friday…and head up to Nicaragua on Saturday. These last 3 weeks in Central America should be awesome, then I am home in Beantown for 4 days or so…then back to DC to start school…gonna be a whirlwind August.
