Our long weekend on the Canal and in the City was PERFECT: the transit was flawless, the canal was gorgeous as always, and our time in Panama City was spent catching up with friends and enjoying our favorite places (and stores!).
Only in Panama could we do all of the following things in one whirlwind weekend:
1. wake up in the morning on the Caribbean, fly to the Pacific, then bus to the Caribbean, so that we could deliver a yacht to the Pacific
2. Reunite with friends we met in at least four different countries
3. Stuff ourselves on mouth-watering sushi for 7 bucks a person - and order plaintain-wrapped salmon rolls!
4. Go shopping in the fabric underground downtown and run into a Kuna family we know
5. Wake up on Lake Gatun, anchored out on an 8-million-dollar yacht, and eat grapes and prosciutto while watching ships transit the Gatun locks
6. Buy fruit-scented bras on Central Ave for 59 cents each that say "over-getter" (?) and "True Love" all over them
7. Drag the owner of Bocas Marina through seedy parts of Panama City in search of the perfect #10 zipper
man, we'll miss this country!
