The flight into Panama City was pretty spectacular. There is a great skyline and there is always a line of ships waiting to get through the canal. 
After a nite in PNC, we rented a car and went over to Portobello. It's a Unesco World heritage site. I find it amazing how much I don't know about the places here. Portobello, San Lorenzo, both on the Caribbean side, and Panama City on the Pacific side formed the triangle of forts that Spain used to shuttle gold across the Isthmus. No lack of fighting here. All the forts were sacked multiple times by the English starting in 1670 with the pirate Henry Morgan.
