I arrived here around three in the afternoon and it is nice to be up at a higher altitude one again.  It is cooler, the wind has dissipated somewhat, and I know it will be cool at night.

Venturing anywhere off the Pan-Am highway is an exercise in pain as the roads here are terrible anywhere else.  There is no excuse for this with all the money rolling in here from the tourism industry, and it is a bit annoying gas there are many nice places to see, but I just can’t get to them.  Nicaragua does a better fob of it will less tourism.

I can’t believe sometimes that I am this close to Panama.  I somehow thought it only a dream, but here I am.  Will post some pics later.
