Mexico City is not that fun of an airport, especially when you are in it for about 8 hours. They don't assign you a gate for your flight until right before it boards and then it doesn't appear that they do much to help you find out where or how to board. Not being familiar to the procedure is asking for trouble, which is what happened to us. We ended up getting to the gate about 10 minutes EARLY and they had closed the plane already and we had to rebook for a later flight, which caused us to miss the next flight.
Things worked out well in the end but we were stressed out for a while.
This evening we found a nice little restaurant in downtown Panama City and then hit up this place called The Red Gorilla for after dinner music and dancing... but very little dancing.
Panama City was surprisingly more built up than I expected. I guess that since all the business congregates around Panama City, it gets most of the money for buildings. It sort of reminds me of my time in Belo Horizonte. There are parts of the city that are really nice and then right next to them are slums. Getting around town seems pretty easy with cab rides being about 4 dollars.
Tomorrow, we are hoping to do some hiking after checking in to our hotel in Boquete and perhaps see a coffee plantation.
