& replacement of the windshield. We joined a groundbreaking ceremony for expansion of the dealership! The German representative addressed the audience in English and dealt with Porsche’s success in general down to the Panama dealership. The owner’s address was in Spanish, though his English is perfect, and focused on the local market. We were well treated.
At the artisan market, a bunch of Molas and Tagua carved animals caught our fancy. The modern art museum and living village were interesting. The Panama and Panama Canal museum from the Panamanian perspective gives one food for thought on international relations. We had dinner at Segundo Muelle, modern Panama/Peru kitchen, with Georgeana De La Guardia, a friend of Julia that lives here. It had the best seafood we have had in Panama so far!
After considerable consideration, I plan to go for the more risky weather option of shipping the car to Cartagena and taking my chances with the deluge. Chac is my friend! The arrangements of shipping the car and us to Ecuador had more risk to our time and tranquility. I would rather take the risk on being stuck with a down bridge in Cartagena and being forced to write my life story, rather than being in limbo and the bureaucratic twilight zone between Panama and Ecuador. It is just another horrible border crossing! In Mexico, the ferry from La Paz to Mazatlan was so easy and pleasant vs. this prospect and cost 1/10.
