Panama Jan 26

We weren't anxious to log more miles on the Inter American so we headed to the bus stop.  No dice for putting our bikes on the first onward couple of buses so we decided to ride the backroads that parallel the Inter American.  Plan B went bust when we couldn't find the backroad and the people we asked pointed us in opposite directions a couple times. 

Plan C was back to the bus station to try for yet another bus.  We did find a guy that would take us....that was the good news.  The bad news was he was full so we sat on little stools in the aisle.....for the 3 and half hour ride to the town of David.  It was too late to ride the bikes to our destination of Boquete so we grabbed yet another bus from there. 

I tried to sneak a photo of Chantal as we sat on our little stools:

Boquette is popular spot.  We are staying in a very nice place called the Pantomonte.  John Wayne, Ingrid Bergman and Richard Nixon have all stayed here.  It was built in 1915. 

The Pantamonte is pretty darn nice:

We are going to stay in Boquete a couple nights.
