Panamá.... oh Panamá.... I'll start off by saying that every time I say Panama City, the words "Paradise City" (by Guns 'n Roses) pop into my head and it may be quite fitting....
On that note, Panamá is intent on keeping the journey VERY real! It has been three unbelievable weeks!
It all started with a difficult entry from Costa Rica. Granted, the difficulties were on the "tico" side of the border, but it was still a difficult time... let me just say that it involved a shady-looking mini-van in a shadier-looking parking lot and the police eventually got involved....
Since that time, I have been hit by a bus, robbed while sleeping at a fire station, had a stretch of six nights straight without sleep, and been attacked by some sort of tick insect that gorged on my blood for several days. What can I say?!?!? Life, particularly on a bike, is a string of unexpected events!!!
On the plus side, I've spent some amazing days at a jungle preserve and hiked the highest point in Panamá, a volcano where I was actually cold for the first time in over three months.
Tomorrow, I'll head back to the US for a few weeks to get everything sorted out from being robbed.... hope to be in the ever elusive Colombia by the first of March!!!
