Although it was really sad to say our goodbyes to Keenan, Brooke and William this morning, we are grateful that we had the opportunity to create such wonderful memories together this past week - priceless!
We did enjoy a lovely afternoon though, after taking a taxi to El Casco Viejo (The Old City), founded on 21 January 1673 after the destruction of Panama La Vieja (Old Panama) in 1671 by pirate Henry Morgan and 1200 men who sailed up the Chagres River to the city which they then plundered and reduced to ruins.
El Casci Viejo is a fabulous old town in which to stroll around, with the most amazing old buildings that have been beautifully restored. After a delicious lunch we, of course, then treated ourselves to a Panama Hat each. Our taxi drive back to our anchorage in La Playita afforded us the pleasure of seeing entrepreneurs at their best - vendors in the middle of the street selling refreshments to motorists stuck in rush hour traffic.
Tonight we joined all the other WARC party revelers on a Party Bus which took us on a ride around the new city where we enjoyed the magical skyline while dancing (and drinking) the night away - What a blast!
