Safely in our hotel in Panama City...

We are safely here at our hotel.  Just before we were set to head out Alvi phoned.  We arranged we would meet him just over the Bridge of the Americas and we would follow him to our hotel.

Well we missed the exit to the Bridge of the Americas and went over- was it the Centennial Bridge???- instead.

However we pulled into a mall/MacDonald's and Alvi found us and we followed him.

Not absolutely sure what the next few days (probably shopping) will bring but I am ready to be home... 4 weeks is too long.  It will be good to be home.

Here is the backyard of one of Blanca's relatives in her village.
