One of our first priorities every morning was to do an hour of homework with Dylan. He was very diligent in his studies, and this morning he completed his homework as the monkeys gave a show outside the backyard bohio. Ryan was determined to see a monkey in the backyard, and baited the tree stand with bananas. All the kids were fascinated, and the cousins really enjoyed the show just behind the Quarters. Rebecca completed her last minute preparations for Jack’s baptism party today. The family all was on hand for Jack’s baptism in St. Mary’s church, and it was a formidable crowd. Rachel also received a blessing since her birthday is this week. Luckily, a thunderstorm came and went, for the baptism party was dry, as the local Panamanian cooks from the Quarters cooked yucca, arroz con pollo, and meat on a stick (empalitos). Additionally, the coolers were filled with Soberana and Panama beer, as the reggae music played in the background. Later in the evening, the group all went to the Balboa Yacht Club to listen to Alex (Shorty and Slim sin Slim) playing all the favorite songs, as the kids formed a conga line and danced to reggae music. Rich Grimison was the guest singer, and conducted a rap to a Slim reggae song to imress all in attendance.
