guess what? we're in panama

After a long series of mishaps, both in the Ministry of Health and in the Ministry of Information, we have arrived in beautiful downtown Panama City, where we'll be spending our anniversary trip. What fun! We've already seen the Pacific Ocean, walked over to the beautiful colonial ciudad vieja, had a truly marvelous tomato and cheese sandwich, and spent roughly two hours and 42 minutes trying to get a waiter's attention.

Our original plan was to go somewhere a bit less urban and more gently lovely than this — the charming colonial part of town has no decent rooms, a situation crying for an entrepreneur — so we imagine we'll try to blow town tomorrow or the next day in search of a nice beachfront community. Meantime, we're brushing up on Spanish, a language both of us briefly studied between 15 and 25 years ago!
