beginning of PANAMA!!!

hello everyone!
So after a long trip and a bad experience with an airlines,that shall remain nameless, we are finally here is Panama. The country is beautiful and we woke up this morning at seven and took a walk through the city of knowledge. We walked to a local plaza and got coffee in a bakery that smelled amazing. The area is so green with plants and the buildings are very spanish influenced. Then we went to the University of Panama the largest public university in panama for a tour which was an amazing experience. The nursing school welcomed us so graciously and we saw their simulation lab which was stocked with some donations from us. In contrast we then visited the Latina University which is a small private college. Their nursing students also were very welcoming but their facility was amazing and modern stocked with the same manicans we have at University of South Florida Nursing school. We then visited the Association of Nurses for Panama were we visited a musuem that followed the history of nursing in panama. Overall the day was great, it was hot outside but everywhere we went people were very gracious and taught us alot about nursing and public health in Panama. I can't wait for tomorrow to learn and see more! ~Yvette
