We had fun in Panama City on Tuesday! We slept in (YAY!!!) and headed up to the top floor of our hotel for a delicious buffet overlooking the city, and then decided to hit the city! We don't have any huge, set-in-stone plans (which turned out to be a good thing due to the driving nightmare that is Panama City!), but we do have a few things on our list, so today we crossed 2 of those off!
 |
| Panoramic view of the skyline from our hotel room! |
 |
| Somehow we forgot sunscreen, a hat, or sunglasses! Oops! Blu hit the streets this morning to find a hat! |
 |
I went to get a pedicure the day before we left, and it was SO crowded, so I went home and Cambree gave me a pedicure!!
|
 |
| Blu exploring Panama Viejo |
 |
| A selfie in the old ruins looking out on the skyline! |
 |
| The tallest tower at Panama Viejo |
 |
| My favorite picture of the day! Some of the old ruins of Panama Viejo, with the skyscrapers of Panama City in the distance! |
 |
| Ha - this thing ran across in front of me and I almost DIED. |
 |
| The view from the tallest tower at Panama Viejo |
 |
| We navigated our way out of downtown and to the Canal! |
 |
We first stopped at a diner for lunch, but it was SO American, so we left! We ended up at a little Lebanese cafe and got shawarmas (one of our favorite things from Zambia) - they were very authentic and very good!
|
 |
A delicious caffe gelato while we waited for the ships to come in! (My first coffee/caffeine in 5 months!)
|
 |
| We were sitting in bleachers in the shade with a group of people, waiting for the ships to come through! |
 |
| Blu working in the simulation room navigating a ship through the Canal. ;) |
 |
| The Isola Celeste (an oil carrier) coming our way after being lowered into the lock! |
 |
| This is a huge container ship from Germany that just passed through the 3rd lane! |
 |
| Blu at the Panama Canal |
 |
| Two catamarans passing through the Canal! |
 |
| Here it comes! |
 |
| Miraflores is the awesome museum/visitor center at the Canal, which opened in 2000. |
 |
| This building is so awesome! It's called El Tornillo - "The Screw!" |
 |
| Headed to supper! |
 |
| We ate at Costa Azul for supper - fried rice with chicken/shrimp..it was...meh. |
