Thursday, August 22
Today we left Bocas Del Toro on a flight at 7:45, at least it was supposed to be, but ended up being about 8:30, and flew to back to Panama City. After about a 45 minute flight we landed in Panama city where Julio picked us up. We spent the morning at the ANAGAN office discussing our trip with Julio and Luis, and discussed the plan for the Institute of Ranch Management moving forward in Panama. It was a very productive meeting and I think the future is very bright for the relationship between IRM and the producers of Panama.
After our meeting at the ANAGAN office we went to eat lunch at a restaurant where the entrance/exit (depending on which way you are going) of the Panama Canal and the Pacific Ocean meet. We enjoyed a great meal and continued to talk about how great the trip had been. After lunch Julio took us on a quick sightseeing tour where we saw one of the ports along the canal as well as the infrastructure (small city within a city) it takes to run the canal known as the Canal District. The canal district is all the old military base and support facilities the U.S. military used when they controlled the canal before giving control over to the Panamanians.
