Llegamos!
We´re in Panama! We arrived at theairportt this afternoon, and though they were disconcertingly slow arriving in the baggage claim area, our packs arrived safely as well. We had a little cheer that we will be able to change our underwear tomorrow!
The trip from the airport into Panama was supposed to be about 30 minutes, but ours took a little longer...I´m not sure if it was because the car couldn´t go any faster, or it was just that the 117 year old man driving us didn´t like to go above 40k per hr, but he got us here safely and that´s what matters most!
The hotel we are in is very cute, it has an awesome little patio out back with some colourful tables and hammocks hanging from lusch trees. Our room is small, but cozy, and most importantly, VERY CLEAN!
We have however encountered the rainy season in Panama. It was a muggy 29 degrees when we landed and the sun managed to peek through every few minutes, but while we were settling into our room the heavens opened up and it poured for about 3 hours. To all you Calgarians, the floods this spring were nothing compared to this! But other than a little rain the weather is still fabulous..I´m a little warm in my jeans and light cotton shirt!
We had dinner at a seafood restaraunt overlooking the ocean....there are pictures to come, but I can´t get this computer to recognize the card reader yet! We had a bit of an adventure getting there and never did find the restaraunt we were looking for. The cabbie gave up looking after one circle around the block and we didn´t argue because driving through the rain was a little scary....Jimmie it was reminiscent of our trip to Denver last year!
Anyway, there is a girl waiting for the computer, so I´ll sign off and I will write more soon!
We´re off to an island called Taboga tomorrow just off the coast of Panama City, so hopefully the weather will hold out!
Ciao,
Dee
