Panama Update #119
January 20, 2009
Our houseguests Eric and Swami Ritavan arrived as scheduled last night. Their taxi ride from the airport was the normal $30 and they gave the driver a $10 tip, which they didn't realize was very for Panama. We told them that would cover the driver tips for the whole week. The same driver came to take them to the Miras Flores Locks Observatory, the first major locks of the canal. Early this morning they walked to the top of Ancon Hill and in the afternoon we walked to the large fruit/vegetable market in our area. Tonight we went out to dinner with some Yoga friends at a nice vegetarian restaurant.
Swamin Ritavan took a lot of pictures on their walk to Ancon which I plan to post as soon as I can get to a fast enough internet connection, so stay tuned.
