Beach Break Part 2 #HogsAbroad in Panama #IntlHogs

After staying at the Cubita for two days, we went to another beach called La Playita Resort. The beach is known by its waves, and many surfers in Panama go there to enjoy surfing. It was so much fun to swim with the waves, and I also enjoyed having a walk along the beach.

On the way back to the City of Knowledge, we had a quick tour at a greenhouse in Cocle, where the University of Arkansas is trying to help with its operation. They grow tomatoes and peppers, and supply them to local hotels and institutes. That firm takes pride on their products grown without any pesticides. Also, if a part of their products is damaged, they take the rest and process them into chopped veggies or sauce. There was a whole system from Spain to manage the production, part of which senses temperature and humidity to make the environment consistent. Followings are some pictures from the greenhouse.

We will visit companies, government agencies, and banks, etc. in week 2!
