Visitors!

We're in the depths of post-visitor doldrums. The kids'  SoCal abuelos were here for a mellow five days together, and while a we did have to work a couple of those days, we managed to show off our city a bit. Since they had visited Panama a few years ago, they'd already seen all of the obvious tourist sights, so we had to dig a little deeper to find something new!

First, Casco Antigua for lunch at Lo Que Hay, ice cream at Granclement, souvenir shopping, and a view from the top of a church tower.

Then a visit to Gamboa including a motorboat ride to spy some wide life on Lake Gatún.​  (Thanks for the video Dadio!)

The Eldest spent most of his grandparents' visit in rehearsals to run the soundboard for ISP’s production of Les Miserables and Grammy and Gramps were thrilled to be able to see him in action. There were dozens of microphones, one revolving stage turntable, and 80 students including the orchestra and crew involved in the crazy-complex show. Not too bad for a pre-K to 12 school which only boasts 1200 students in total, eh? ​

Note the Panama City skyline behind the Les Mis gal!

The custom ISP sweatshirt is pretty swag as well.

After experiencing the emotional roller coaster that is Les Mis, the Californians hugged their grandkids goodbye and hopped on a flight home. 

Thanks for all the cookies, Trader Joe’s products, silly Christmas tchotchkes, easy-going-ness, and love! See you in a few weeks for our next adventure!
