A man, a plan, a canal: Panama.

Nueva Gorgona is where the folks were relocated to when old Gorgona was flooded to enlarge Lake Gatun during the building of the Panama Canal.  Today was a lazy day.   After fixing the front tire that went flat overnight,  I checked out places to stay on the coast for a couple days before heading in to Panama City to meet Julie on Wednesday.  I’m staying at the Hotel Gorgona for a rate even lower than their rainy season rate.  I seem to be the only guest.  I’m online now at La Ruina, a bar/restaurant built on the ruins of an old tavern and meeting hall.  It is owned by Frank from New Jersey who married Dilcia, a Panamanian women who grew up next door.
