Panama City is a nice place. I did not spend long there really -- discounting the time in the immigration office only one morning. I did go an check out the canal though. It costs ships over $30,000 US to go through the canal, but saves them much more in time and basic costs. So for that reason most ships are built to not exceed the size of the Panama Canal. It was fun to watch the ships going through the locks at Miraflores. I didn´t know that the big vessels are actually pulled through the locks by rail cars -- neat.
After that I said by to David and headed to old Panama -- the ruins of the orignal city from the 1600´s. They were fun to look at.
Then it was time to move on to somewhere a little cooler -- Boquete a mountain town about 8 hours away. This town in great. It is warm but not too hot and very beautiful. There is a house with an amazing garden that is open to the public -- nice place to relax and get my clothes washed -- yea!!!!!
