Gorgona Beach

I completely forgot to take pictures at the beach. I was either in the water, playing soccer, or talking in a group with other exchange students and some volunteers about the program. We spent a LOT of time going over the rules (again) and talking about problems and how to deal with different situations. It got pretty boring at times, but then after we got to swim at the beach and in the pool. The waves were absolutely ENORMOUS and the first day I wouldn't even get in because I was that scared. I NEVER refuse swimming at the beach...so that shows you just how scary those waves were. On Tuesday I was a little more confident and jumped in :) The pictures below are ones I stole from other exchange students. The resort had a lot of palm trees, so a few friends and I collected some coconuts. We ran into a guy with a machete and asked him to chop them open and we drank coconut milk. Machetes are $3.50 in the supermarkets. Haha gotta love Panama...
