It has been an interesting trip so far. The first word that comes to my head is "Hot". It is extremely humid and hot. In addition, it rains every evening around 3:00pm. I had the opportunity to tour the city and see the different areas people live in. Yesterday I went to Casco Vijo. It's an old historical area of panama. We go to see workers restore the old buildings in an attempt to preserve them. I also went to the Panama Canal and veiw two ships attempting to cross the canal. It's amazing the engineering and thought that went into the project. Also, I walked through the small museum and it was interesting to see the years and hard work it went into the Panama Canal.
It is a beautiful country with a lot of things to see and do. I'm looking forward to the next three weeks and experiencing a different part of Panama. I've notices a big economical class difference so in small towns I can imagine that poverty may be worse. Well, off I go up to the country side, up the mountains on an 8 hour bus ride with my group.
