Our unexpected journey to Panama was amazing. We arrived on the 18th and took a shuttle to our hotel that was also kinda like a hostel. We drove through the city we were surprised on how much it looked like Vancouver but also looked like a mix of New York and Miami. We also passed one of the nicest buildings I have ever seen.

When we got there we unpacked a little then we went out for pizza. After pizza we toured around Panama for a little. We came across some pretty cool things like a church from 400 years ago and an Argentinian bar that had horse saddles for seats and the walls were covered in flattened bear bottle caps. It was a nice night! The next morning we went for another walk around the city and even found some random swings under a bridge and we had fun on those for a while. Later that afternoon we went to check out the canal it was so interesting. We saw huge ships going through, we got to watch a movie about it , and go for a walk in the museum. It was a great experience! That night we went out for dinner at a restaurant with a roof top bar and we had the best Pina Colada’s ever and we were pretty convinced that they had made them with ice cream, desert before dinner. Yay! The next morning was a blast and quite exhausting. We started out renting a six seater bike and we biked all the way around the ring road which is a bridge that goes around the old city. Then we went to go visit the First Nations Embera tribe. We went for a walk, we got eaten alive by mosquitos, we had a good lunch of plantains and fish and we even got to watch their traditional dance. It was a blast!
