Feb. 5 – Panama

Day 188 – Today is the day that most Americans, whether they like it or not, are watching TV to see the Super Bowl!!! Or is it really to see all the new high-tech, new wave commercials? Of course having tons of party food and eating all day while watching is fun too. BUT the most exciting aspect of today is that the Seattle Seahawks will be playing, yes playing, in the Super Bowl!! Cool, cool – and even though we are in Panama, we can still watch it live with everyone else in the states, due to the technology of cable TV. 😉

Day 186/187 – We are spending the next two days at the Mamallena Hostel. Nice beds, dorm rooms only, a small quaint place. I really enjoyed the people here and the size of the hostel. The breakfast is included, but it is very simple. They advertise WIFI, but do not allow one to access it via their laptop, but they have two computers and one cable to plug into a laptop. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here.

We have hit the third city that is doing construction on their water system. The water was shut off for a day and a half, not too bad, and though it is never fun, it is livable. A day of relaxing at the hostel and learning how to play backgammon was just perfect for us. The next day we wandered around the old part of town with Ali and Phin – whom we met at the hostel. The city has an art exhibit going on near that part of town, which has photos blown up on plastic banners and posted on all the abandoned buildings and doors. Currently the old town is being restored and looks to be geared towards tourism.
