Hello all! We are in Panama now and I thought it might valuable to share some observations now and as me move forward through 9/21/14.
Panama City
- Taxis range from $3.50 to $10 to the same locale depending on your luck.
- Driving is for experts only.
- Walking is not easy in PC. Non-existent sidewalks and big pot-holes in streets.
- Prices of restaurant food is not much lower than the states.
- Construction is everywhere, as is trash.
- Cozo Azul is a nice, local restaurant. Great whole fried fish.
- Tinajas has fun traditional dancing show
San Carlos
- Manglar Lodge ($120/night) is quaint and an easy walk to the beach (playa) Bay View Hotel is just next door but prices are not on internet.
PanAmerican Highway
- is under construction, as is most of Panama
- Plan on a long trip from San Carlos to Boquete. About 6 hours. Long but the view is amazing. So lovely and rich.
Boquete
- Just got here tonight but love it already. Staying at the Haven. No on-site restaurant, however it is a short walk to the main drag. At at an good Argentinian place tonight. Cool and not as humid as PC and San Carlos.
More later as we explore.
