New Experiences

On Friday, taking the taxi to work I saw the craziest thing of my trip (so far). The taxi driver had a live pet squirrel in the car!

At first I thought it was just a stuffed animal perched on the dashboard … but then it blinked and moved its head … I must admit I was somewhat startled and glad that I was in the back seat.

I will say that the squirrel was rather well behaved. Despite the typical aggressive taxi driving, the squirrel never left the dashboard. It had a shoe string tied around one of its legs, but it could have easily leaped off the dashboard if had wanted to. For the most part it was hunched over like it was going to jump.

One of my coworkers always says how incredible the people are in Panama. Of course he wasn't too surprised by this story.
