Another drizzling day in Panama City helped keep the temperature tolerable for the three of us 'espalda nieves', a Keithism, snowbacks.
We walked for a couple miles through the ruins of the oldest city in the Americas which was destroyed by the pirate, Henry Morgan.
The views of the city offered a strong contrast to what is left of the original buildings, which, unfortunately were built mostly from timbers.
The Catholic Church's strong influence is evident; most structures are churches or monasteries, about seven in a small community.
The small museum had a few of the treasures uncovered by archeologists.
Keith's favorite part of the day was browsing through the artisan shops where he purchased a couple of pillows with beautiful handiwork and two shot glasses to add to Curtis's collection.
It was a relaxing day which ended with a late lunch at the neighborhood open-air grill. Now it's time for Shana Jan to cheer for Gonzaga in their NCAA pairing with BYU, go team!
