First Day in Panama
Today was the first day in Panama. We had a nice simple buffet breakfast and called a cab to take us to the old part of Panama City. There there was a lot of building going on and it was noisy from the sound of drills and people working. We went to see a few churches and a museum about the history of the Panama Canal. There were a lot of screens and surprisingly there was nothing in English. It was all in Spanish. The museum had old tools and showed how the canal was made.
We went to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant. I had a few dumplings, two helpings of noodles, and some broccoli. It was tasty.

Your hat will feel at home there. How long are you staying in Panama?
ReplyDeleteWe are staying in Panama for 12 days. And I don't think my hat moves around or has any personality like the hat in Harry Potter. There are lots of Panama hat shops in the street where we're staying, though. Someone who tried to sell us a tour couldn't even tell the difference between a Panamanian hat and a Colombian hat. [As I understand it, the best Panama hats are made in Ecuador. Certainly the ones that roll up seem to come from there. Ed.]
