Tribal Villages - Part 2

We were received with open arms at the Pena Bijagual tribe and dropped off our luggage in the hut they cleaned out for us. We were planning to only stay one night, so they asked us to share about our organization right away. After sharing, they asked us to stay another night, which we agreed to. It is much hotter here compared to Panama City (we're only about 8 degrees north of the equator) so during the afternoons, we were useless, especially for taking pictures with the harsh midday light. I was supposed to share a mini-sermon the 2nd night, but Tulio has quite a gift for speaking and he took up most of our time. Besides all that, "time" is a relative term here in Panama (as it is in most of the rest of the world beyond Canada and the US). We enjoyed a terrential downpour the second afternoon, which cooled things down and, more importantly, allowed some of us to take an outdoor shower since the only other bathing option was the dirty river. Home sweet home pictured below.
