Panama City

I ended up spending about a week in Panama City. The first thing on my list was figuring out what was going on with my health. I was getting pretty frustrated with the recurring fever, headaches, and eye pain that would pop up every 20 hours or so. After a visit to the hospital and some tests they figured out I’d been dealing with some sort of parasitic infection for the past three weeks. Thankfully, I was prescribed some meds and I’ve been feeling a lot better since.

While I was in Panama, I checked out the famous Panama Canal and was surprised by how quickly the ships pass through the locks. It’s impressive to see in person. I also took a day trip on my motorcycle to the city of Colón to visit the Atlantic Ocean. Turns out Panama is one of the only places in the world where you can see both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans in the same afternoon.

I settled into a nice routine in Panama City and finally got the all clear from the hospital after a final blood test. Now I’m getting ready for the next big leg of my adventure South America!Read more
