JaPanama or Bust

The traveling continues! I have truly missed traveling, seeing new places, and experiencing new cultures. I can not be more excited about this up coming trip. As you know, I'm rounding out the second year of the Illinois Agriculture Leadership Program and that means two weeks of international travel studying agriculture! Our class of thirty will be spending about a week in both Japan and Panama, thus we have dubbed the trip "JaPanama". The itenerary boast embassy visits, cultural exploration, and farm tours complete with Tyvek suits! With all the hype and possibility we are not without our concerns... The Zika virus is alarming and we have been told about the Japanese delicacy: raw horse meat. Here's to hoping we can identify everything we eat and avoid mosquito bites!  Let us all remember, the difference between and ordeal and an adventure is ATTITUDE!
