ot so used to being in the air, but it was a relief to throw in the headphones on the flight and kick back. Our first impressions of Panama weren´t that great. The people don´t seem nearly as friendly as they were in South America. They just seem a little more turned off to our being here. Maybe we haven´t been here long enough. After finding a place to stay, we started making calls to see where the boat, and our car, was. It would arrive the next day, and we could pick up the bill of lading then. We should not have got our hopes up, as the boat didn´t arrive until after 5 and we couldn´t do anything until Friday. With a day lost, we decided to plan something the next day. We decided to see a little of the city while we were waiting for a call. We headed Casco Viejo, an old part of town equipped with the original walls from Spanish control.
It was nice to walk around and see the skyline from the water. We headed out for the causeway where you can see the boats lining up to cross into the canal. Still with no word on the car, and with me being a complete nerd, we went to the Canal.
I found it amazing, and yet so simple. I was in awe the whole time the boats were lowered to sea level. We gave up hope on the car around 5 and headed back to the city, and a little cinema (Got to fill two of my nerd urges in one day, we went and saw Batman. Greatest movie ever, maybe not, but really good)
