Panama Update #146

Panama Update #146

Rich, Mariam, and Juna arrived at about midnight last night. They are staying at a hostal that is fairly close to us. Their flight was late, their taxi was not there to meet them that the hostal had ordered, and the hostal said they were booked and did not have room for them. Fortunately they found a room for them. I met them this morning at around 8:00 AM and we had breakfast and discussed their plans for the day. They went out to the Mires Flores locks and then went out to the Causeway for dinner. I am scheduled to meet up again with them tomorrow (Sunday) AM.

Michael, Mary, and Ian arrived back from their week in El Valle de Anton. They had rented a car for the week and really enjoyed the convenience of it. They loved the El Valle area and had a great time. They found a nice place to stay that they recommend. It is called Los Capitanes (www.los-capitanes.com). Before they returned the rental car they drove up to the top of Ancon Hill and also to the Mires Flores locks. Tonight we had dinner at a fancy French restauant (Restaurante Las Bovedas) in Casco Viejo that is near the French Plaza.

I plan to post a few pictues in the next couple of days.
