Final Days in Panama
We returned to Panama City Friday morning and I prayed that none of the tiny ants that dotted our hotel room would make it back home to our apartment. We walked around Amador Causeway which wasn't really what I had imagined (I also stubbed my toe here). Made it to a wine bar just as a rain storm hit, waited out the rain storm, had difficulty finding the restaurant we wanted to go to for dinner but eventually made it there (a frustrating thing about Panama City is the lack of addresses). Encountered heavy rain for the first half of Sunday but, fortunately, shopping was on my agenda and we took refuge in two local malls but the shopping was disappointing so we killed time at a restaurant and a few casinos. Oh yeah, and we went to the city's main modern art museum which was free but small and also disappointing.
I think if I could have done things differently, I would have skipped El Valle and shortened our time in Panama City and gone to the Azuero Peninsula instead. Overall, however, we enjoyed our time in Panama and the trip piqued my interest in snorkeling (I keep threatening Adam with the prospect of retiring in Belize ;)
