We got up EARLY today, packed up the car in 30 minutes and were out the door and on the road by 6:10am. We are driving today to Panama City to meet Fernando and Eva at the airport there!!!
Good drive the whole way. No roads were shut down, traffic flowed smoothly and the weather was good. We got to Panama City a lot earlier than we thought we would so we had plenty of time to stop by our hotel first before heading to the airport. Of course, we got to the airport with tons of time to spare, but we'd rather be early than late. How good it was to see Fernando and Eva coming through the door! We just love that part!!
First thing we did after picking them up was get in the traffic that was just CRAWLING along and finally got to the causeway where we planned on having lunch. It was raining a little as we left the airport, and by the time we got to the causeway, the rain was coming down hard!!! Fortunately, the restaurant we were going to had covered parking (what are the chances....) and ALSO had covered access to the restaurant. So, we were protected totally from the elements. We got a seat on the patio with a wonderful view out to the sea and the rain was still coming down. We had a great meal there - Fernando had octopus!! - and by the time we were finished with our meal the rain had quit and we were able to walk along the causeway a little bit.
From there we went to the hotel, and rested up a bit before going back out in the evening - to EAT again! We went back out on the causeway to a Lebanese restaurant. Good food and good music - although a little too loud. But we enjoyed our dinner very much and that's how we ended this wonderful day! :-)
