Nick-Names

Since being in Panama I have acquired many nicknames. I have had nicknames growing up, but never have gained so many in such a short time. The names are as follows:

1) Canada - for obvious reasons, but the Panamanians have decided that no one else on the team is to be referred to as Canada, this is a reserved solely for me.

2) Fungus Feet - NOT, may I repeat NOT BECAUSE I HAVE FUNGUS!!! But because during cantata I gained some beautiful blisters on my feet. Fungus feet is much better alliteration than blister anything

3) Crazy Hair - I gained this one because of my uncontrollable red ringlets. I am quite possibly the only person in Panama with hair like this.

4) Papa Goose - My costume in Cantata was a dove. But my friends decided that it was more goose like than dove like. And why the papa part? I have no idea...

5) Cazadora - This quite simply is a translation of my last name. Hunter in Spanish is cazadora. I think it has a much softer less intrusive ring to it...sounds almost gentle!!
(Goose or dove? You decide!)

SO, those are the names I have gained thus far. I am pretty sure I will gain more in the future. My friends here have a wonderful habit of loving to continue adding to the list...
