Our office in Bogota, Colombia, July 2022

Once again, I have a good example that things keep changing at my work constantly and one can never be sure of what next week may bring (I guess, this is why I love this job so much!). Well, as it stands today, I will be participating in the security training in Medellin of Colombia after all. It appears that one place has freed up and the organisers have invited me to take part. I am now arranging last moment administrative procedures so that I can travel to Colombia the following Sunday. I am glad for this potential change and look forward to the experience!

Other peace of great news is that we have purchased a ticket for Tahir to visit me here in Panama. He will be coming from Toronto at the end of March. He will only stay for 9 days, but I am so super excited of his coming!

Also, I am looking at options for my Easter break in April. I will be on holidays for 10 days or so, and considering options where to go and what to do. I may end up in Europe, potentially in Portugal, but nothing written in stone yet.

Finally, Panama is about to start its Carnaval celebrations today. The celebrations are famous across Central America, and attract a good crowd of people from overseas to play, dance and enjoy music and parties. This year is set to be special, as the celebrations are resuming after 3 years of COVID-19 related bans.
