Panama Update #147
Monday, March 23, 2009
Yesterday we showed Rich, Mariam, and their 5 year old daughter Juna around Panama City. We got ripped off by one taxi driver, but other than that I think they had a good time. They bought some of the indigenous Kuna art in Casco Viejo such as a painted feather and a couple of Mullas (hand-stitched colorful art). I bought an old Panama license plate for a souvenir to take home. They stayed at our house last night and then this morning planned to take a 9 hour bus ride to the David area. They then plan to go on to Bocas del Toro and return to Panama City in a week.
I heard from Michael G. that he arrived back in Minneapolis as scheduled. They carried two duffle bags or ours home. We are trying to send our things back with the visitors so it will be less to mail when we leave in a couple of months.
I still plan to post pictures of the most recent visitors, but the internet has been down again in our apartment. It has been going on and off quite often over the last couple of months.
