5 days to Panama! ..aprendiendo Español

Ok, wow - 5 days to Panama and I have barely even taken time to think about it. But I am on it now. I have just gotten out my Spanish cd's - I forgot how much I enjoyed listening to these. They have been shelved for the past few years.. and now also I have an Ipod and have downloaded a series from Notes in Spanish including cool video podcasts from Marina and Ben traveling to fascinating places around the world: Thailand, Singapore, Bankok etc...

I have a friend who has offered to help me learn how to videoblog - that would be fun!

But for now I will bring my camera & post as usual - but you never know - there will be video cameras there, the friend I am meeting is filming Dr Douglas (author of The Raw Truth about Milk) this week. so, we may get some filming in.

Alexandra, co-worker at Rawlicious, introduced me to a cool website this morning: Seeqpod - where you search your fav music and create playlists. I typed in Spanish (of course) and found a few interesting sources.. I am listening to Pimsleur lessons right now: "Hable mas despacio, por favor"

It will be interesting to see how it is eating raw there. I will have to get a plan, think about what to buy to take with me and shop on Wed., my only day to do so. I am working Friday and leaving very, very early Sat morning.
I'm getting excited!!
break here to go start getting packed!.....
wow, thats a first, I'm usually a last minute packer.
The flight is almost 9 hours - not counting the few hours I will be stopping over in Mexico City.

Ah, ok, getting excited.. and I have a new friend coming from Brazil and staying at my place while I am gone .. and I am still unpacking and getting settled - I have shelves to go paint now that I want to put up before I leave.

No, no los conosco. (s/p?)
Pourque?
Ah entiendo!
