Boquete tales

Bright Lights, Big City. Panama City.

Panama City Day 2

Through the Panama Canal
We were up early to start our trip through the Panama Canal. The liner was circling similar to planes stacking to come into Heathrow. We were in a line of ships - no 19 to go through from south to north that day. It was bright and sunny and things looked ...
Colombia Still?
I really had no idea what to expect from Panama city but the name conjured up images of rich americans puffing cigars in hawain shirts. One of the richest countries/cities in the region also makes it the safest, as long as you don´t stray into one of the ...
Caribbean Crossing.
... island, a hotel and an immigration office. PG disappeared into the office for about 2 hours and Jess and I inquired about flights to Panama City. When PG returned he said that they couldn{t do the papers until tomorrow and that we{d have to spend the ...

Walking around the neighborhood
Our first full day in Panama brought a hot and humid reality smack. It was in the 90's before noon and the humidity was beyond overwhelming. With that said, Melanie went to our neighborhood market, Super Gourmet, to get us breakfast. ...
PC
... nbsp; Again great roads, and we crossed the mouth of the Panama Canal in early afternoon and found a decent (okay, crappy) hotel. Panama City has skyscrapers, the first we'd seen since the US. I seems to want to be Miami. But up ...
Farewell Central
It's only a little entry as we were in Panama City for a connecting flight to Rio. What's to say? Copa Airlines are really good - we got free food on a one hour flight! The airport was massive and had lots of shops. And that's it. I thought I would write ...
