A man a plan a canal panama ... and now PERU!

There are two of us, and though we are not men, we had a plan to spend twenty four hours in Panama and see the Canal.

We spent a day in Panama ... We saw the Canal.
We walked around.
We went to the hotel. There were already people in our new room. We got a new room. We watched an ER marathon. We went to bed at 7pm.
There was not much to see in Panama.

Check.

Now we are in Lima, Peru! There appears to be much more to see and do here already than in Panama.

At the airports in Panama and Lima, everyone was wearing surgical masks. And we had to fill out forms before we could get off the plane detailing where we had been and if we had any symptoms. Apparently they take their swine flu more seriously than JFK ... haha.
In Panama, we had to stand in front of a thermographic camera before we were allowed to go through immigration to make sure we weren´t febrile. They didn´t seem to care that we claimed we were bringing absolutely no money into the country, but the thermographic camera was clutch.

We´re in Peru for the next 7 days (including Amanda´s birthday in the Cloud Forest in Machu Picchu!) ...

More to come.
