Now I can already hear nothing for three weeks by myself and in time a lot has happened. Above all, much alone, but I notice now. I was with another group of Americans (this time much better organized) in the wide of the Panamanian Jungels, I've organized another English project, and I have climbed the highest mountain in Panama, the Baru Volcano.
Because I've heard that too much text is sometimes just too much of a good , I will once again make a photo album-like entry. ¡Por ahí vamos pues!
only at the week "Medical Brigade (~ hiking GP) in the village Guabal, right in the middle of the jungle, is behind a national park. This was for 10 years, no local medical care! This is so far the furthest I've made through the mountains towards the Caribbean coast ... can see To Photos (by others) is here and then purchasable above under "More" in photographs that appear then, where they made were:
Our projects on a larger map
On the way through the jungle. A total of 6 off-road vehicle trucks
The school in Guabal - End the world? No, a few miles more arduous path is already the Caribbean!
The crew of the recording after the first day. I (left, green) could help a lot in translation)
Maggi ...
Beautiful nature and the river Calovébora
hibiscus and other plants throughout
Germany! How to get something out here? With relief supplies. Therefore, one can see baseball caps from the Boston Red Sox right in the jungle of Panama
The crowd was huge
Among other things, also distributed toys
My first time washing in a river. She felt very indigenous. The whole life, bathing, washing, recreation play here from the river - the most exciting place in the village ...
A frog in a drug case - unfortunately the only we have seen in a week ...
The climbing-hiking fever has gripped me and I am so far in the hills until I was stopped the jungle.
learned this week was quite eventful and I'm translating in both English and English to some, also I can now measure blood pressure and blood sugar control. I've talked with some patients and heard that some are running up to 3 days to get medical care! One family had run a day just to get something against parasites. Parasites, in most cases, tapeworms are the most common absolutely hygienic and medical problem in the mountains. Drinking water is not clean and there is drinking any water, also has a kind of pretty much any parasites. We have each of the approximately 1,000 patients given parasite agents that protect the body against attack for a long time. On Friday, the week I'm back from the jungle in the dry region of Buenos Aires, where I trained. No stop at home, but I had fairly clean laundry from the river :-)
Last week on Thursday and Friday, Easter. Yes, something different is - why? No idea. But that meant for me that I even finally have a weekend off. As mentioned in one of the last Panama More information is available, We are not tourists here, we have a work week from Monday to Friday, I to Saturday. The free time we draw but in this case to its full potential from - I do not want that this sounds like we were always traveling ... :-P any event, this weekend for one of my major projects was provided for small - the ascent of the Baru Volcano, the highest mountain in Panama. the alien dominated Boquete - there is also German! - I'm going on Saturday at 5 clock in the morning ...
... for me to enjoy this sight. A covered with shallow volcanic clouds
13,5 km - a no brainer! Hmm ... Not really, we are talking about a difference in altitude of 2700 m and a pretty rocky slopes. Did I mention the pitch?
It has not long time to me was the sweat on his forehead. After one hour. And Mom, I had the plug not not all the time in the ears - but it was interesting to hear too much! ;-)
the legendary quetzal unfortunately I have not seen and must take such a photo from the Internet ... ( The bird is in the Mayan culture very big
These giant trees were full of birds of all kinds
One of the seven or eight 'crater' of the volcano. As shown it since year Hunt Erten no volcanic activity has more (about the 7th century, according to lonely planet), but there is no danger.
From the 3,000 m mark, it was difficult to rise - the air is thinner
Once at the top! The exertions of the climb you can see me not to - all good! :) Unfortunately, on the Atlantic side were too many clouds, so that I could only get a glimpse of the Pacific, even before disappearing into clouds.
This is the tip. This is what one is no volcanic peak, as I found out that Cone is several times abegesackt. Now the highest point of this summit, in a basin. On the map you can get a slight idea of it.
Here we see one side of the volcano crater. The view was just spectacular and the dimensions are unimaginable ...
From the wonderful world of plants I have also made many photos
The descent of slightly more than 3 hours was horrible! I feel huge blisters on the feet and the height difference was also good ... Once in the hostel I've indulged in the longest straight hot shower of my life and then after a German beer by the river I fell into bed dead. Thanks to the migration of Panamanians like traveling on the free weekend was the return journey quite long and I've written a little longer on the blog. Tomorrow we will get out early, and indeed in the vicinity of the carpentry in La Mesa. In Subi Arriba we will help in the next week to lay water pipes. ¡Hasta luego !
