I can't get over how many ships are out waiting to cross through the Panama Canal it really puts into perspective how connected and global everything is now.

I so enjoy Casco Viejo, or any old town for that matter, because it is so walkable. The old buildings and those that are updated to the current style but with the old design intact. I will try to remember don’t go to top tourist attractions on a Sunday as the crowds at the Panama Canal was crazy. Hot temperature and crowds of people Yikesss; thanks for toughing it out for us. 😁

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Hi Mark! We feel the same way! Oh gosh haha yes 🙌 don’t go on the weekend! That was nuts. And I guess because it’s under construction only 1 level was open. I heard they used to have more available.

I always heard that Panama was a bit dodgy but you guys look so comfortable walking around - what was your feeling on overall safety for wandering? It looks so clean there - similar to your video of Mazatlan, which blew my mind and was completely accurate. I love how Heidi always orders salad for something light and ends up with the biggest plate of food! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Hi! Oh we felt completely safe where we were but there are definitely some dodgy areas like just north of Casco Viejo I beleive.
