Panama City was a big city, on the coast.
I was quite surprised to see so many modern high rise apartment and office buildings.
We stayed in a great hostel, and ate at a funny chinese restaurant (huge meals for about $3.50ea).
Interestingly, US dollars are the only currency of Panama. There is no local currency.
The highlight by far was out visit to the Panama Canal. It was amazing. Just a $15 cab ride from our hostel was the Miraflores Locks.
We spent over 2 hours learning about the history of the canal and how it works. I was so impressed that I made a video of how it all works to share with everyone.
Enjoy...
