Arrived early this morning in Panama City for the Cambridge University Press regional conference. It's a great flight from Quito since it is only 1 1/2 hours. The weather was hot and sticky and I, after a few months of nights at 42 degrees and days with a high of 68, was thrilled! We got into the hotel, then took a taxi to Casco Viejo, the colonial part of the city. It is very quaint - some areas rather run down and others very posh and built up.
We bought some handicrafts in the outdoor market,
admired the sea,
and then stayed for a lunch of prawns in coconut juice.
Great day.
Great day.
