I Do Stuff…

Panama

Real quick post about my Thanksgiving trip to Panama.  Nancy and I went down over the weekend to visit her father and explore the country.  This was my first trip to a Latin American country and it was wonderful.  Made me appreciate all the “luxuries” we have here in the states.  A beautiful place with a not of natural wonders.  I ate some incredible food and drank a lot of good local beer (Panama, Balboa, and Atlas).  Saw the canal and some ships go through the locks.  Those ships are huge and they are building a bigger lock for even larger cargo ships.  Stopped by Howard Air Base where Nancy grew up.  One day was spent at Santa Clara Beach where I had a cigar in one hand, beer in the other, and swung in hammock, that was so relaxing I didn’t want to leave.  Hiked a couple of trails and visited Gamboa. Partied most nights.  And did I mention the food?  The food was plentiful, cheap, and incredible.  Great trip.  A large post will be coming shortly about the full experience.
