Man-made "tiny island"
Part of the Amador, where built up dirt had created a small island.
Good thing I didn't rely on Richard's interpretation of the maps we had and that he was reading...none helped much and we kind of fell into the area we were trying to get to by pure luck and chance! I am not sure why, but the majority of countries in Central American have most of their major roads without any street signs!

Panama
With US backing, Panama seceded from Colombia in 1903 and promptly signed a treaty with the US allowing for the construction of a canal and US sovereignty over a strip of land on either side of the structure (the Panama Canal Zone). The Panama Canal ...more info

The Maps
Good thing she didn't rely on my interpretation of the maps? Sheeit - as though if she were looking at the map (which she did from time to time when we stopped), everything would have gone just perfect, right? I can read a map as well as anyone, just that we didn't have good detailed Panama City maps, and you gotta have a lot of patience as a driver. R

no shots...well sort of
The only shots we did prior to and during our departure were a couple of shots of rum :>). No need for shots in Panama unless traveling in the remote areas off to the east (which we didn't do this time).

Maps....bad, bad, bad.
The maps were very bad...worse yet were the changing street names. The driver had a hard time reading tiny street sign names while also trying to interpret large overhead signs, avoid careening and speeding taxis and cars that ignored most signals and stop signs, and at the same time, listen to the map reader. :>). In the end though, we figured out the overall city layout, which will make the next trip a whole lot easier when driving around and through the city proper. A
