We spent our last day exploring Panama City. Our first stop was the Panama Canal where we toured the 4 story museum of the canal's history and information. We learned that the canal was built in 1914 at a cost of $375 million...

After breakfast we headed back to the fire station and quickly loaded up a couple boxes of food. We weren't going to be assembling or distributing any new water filters, today. Rather, we would be checking the existing ones in the community of Cañita, where we ate lunch yesterday...

Today was a toilsome, though an exciting and fruitful day. The day began at same breakfast place as the previous two days: China Palace (real name unknown). The Chinese woman who runs the restaurant continued to entice us with her cordialness and warmth...

Today was the longest workday thus far, we started the day eating huevos con tortillas (eggs w/ tortillas) at the restaurant we went to the previous day then rushed to a Catholic mass service which started at 9am. We got there right after 9 so we thought we would be walking in late but in Panama they tend to be chill so it started at like 9:20...

Panama | Day 3, Jan. 8

Today was our second day in Panama and like any typical morning some of us awoke to Panama’s national songbird, the rooster, as well as some curious lizards. Not your typical morning? Yeah it was pretty new for us too, but it is also a great safety net to ensure we actually get up, since the rooster does not believe in snooze buttons. I like to think of it as nature's very own alarm clock...

Panama greeted us with warm smiles and breezes, while our jetlagged bodies make there way through customs and headed to our hotel. We sped down the streets of Panama going many Kilometers an hour - yes, Kilometers, we’re not in the USA anymore...
