Swine Flu: If you were wondering, yes, people do freak out about it here. They have been since about the middle of May, when people starting showing up in surgical masks to walk around Albrook Mall. This picture is of a poster that my class made, about the symptoms and stuff of A H1N1. I colored all the little pictures that my friend Max drew.Another school project was this video of making an electroscope for physics class a week or two ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nMjGwC9C3c
And some more random photos:
GIANT freaking spider in the jail cells under the fort at Portobelo.
The common black vulture, chillin at the fort.
An Indian fishing boat out at Portobelo.
A pretty moth that was actually quite small, hanging out on the refrigerator one evening.
Not a Golden Frog, but a frog nonetheless.

Your giant freaking spider sent me scurrying to my Animal Kingdom Encyclopedia. It's an Amblypygi, or tailless whip scorpion. My book has a good photo of one that looks like the exact same species as yours, but it was taken in Jamaica. There are 70 species around the world, all tropical except the ones that live as far south as South Africa. Way cool. But wait 'til you get to see your first Solifugid, or wind scorpion. They're the coolest of all.
Ooh! Thanks :D I've been asking my friends at school and they're all like "yup, it's a big bug..." Haha... those are called camel spiders sometimes, right? Yeah... I am really not sure if I want to see one of those or not! I guess it would be cool. :)
