Hello, again! Today marks our first official day in Ciudad de Panama(Panama City). We started the trip off the right way by touring the city; first, the Canal, then other areas including the second-largest banking district in the Americas - second only to Manhattan, NY - and neighborhoods under reconstruction from past wars. Interestingly enough, we passed the site where the new 007 (James Bond: Quantum of Solace) film was shot; if you Google or search on You-Tube for it you will see the exact location. In other news, the food is very delicious yet surprisingly inexpensive, and it rains 4-5 times per day. Tomorrow we travel to an "Indian" (as in - native Panamanians who live without modern technologies) village. I look forward to telling you all about it.
This photo is of me at the Panama Canal as a ship called a 'Panamax', or the largest of ships able to pass, completes its passage through the set of locks that we visited.
