Peace Corps volunteers Melissa and Isaac Jacobs

I met a Vermont couple, Melissa and Isaac Jacobs, who are Peace Corps volunteers here in Panama.  There are 180 volunteers in Panama, including some relocated here from Bolivia.  Tomorrow is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, but here in the tropics the days are always about 12 hours long.  I’m staying at a small hotel on the beach near the huge Royal Decameron Resort and ate at  Woody’s, a Canadian restaurant just down the beach, while a thunderstorm flashed lightning out to sea.
