Today I had planned to visit both Meriflores Locks on the Panama Canal, and hit the metropolitan park. However, when I started moving, always slowly, my back chimed in early—like immediately after going vertical — and deciding moving wasn’t exactly what it wanted to do, protested. I acquiesced to pain, and decided to forego the more strenuous visit to the metropolitan park, but still go to the Canal. I skipped wearing the ankle brace too. Worked out pretty well. Both the ankle and back don’t feel terrible, but I only walked about 3.5 miles for the day.
I got to the locks early (via a $5.50 Uber ride), within 15 minutes of the opening of the visitor’s center, and was rewarded with unobstructed views of a dry bulk ship transiting the locks.

After watching it and another ship transit south (Pacific) to north (Caribbean), I then spent a couple of hours visiting the onsite museum. I had a good time, but I’m a nerd.
Afterward, I took an Uber to Casio Viejo again, to see parts I hadn’t seen on my initial visit yesterday. Talked for a while with Nikolas, an attorney who works in both Catalan, Spain and in Panama. He was having lentil soup, I had an egg sammich and un cafe Americano for lunch. The coffee was as much as the food.

I may or may not have stepped into a pharmacy while walking around, and may or may not have bought some Viagra, because why or why not? I discovered it’s relatively cheap ($4/ea) and no script required. I figured I may or may not have a use for it someday. I may or may not have tried what I may or may not have bought, to see what it my or may not do.
Visited my local craft cerveceria again for dinner and tried four beers I didn’t try yesterday. They need to figure out their pricing, though. It’s $2 for 12 oz, and $3 for 16. I’ll never buy a 16; I’ll continue to buy the 12 oz, and save money.
Oh, and there was a cute momma dog.

After all the beers, I was more than a little buzzed walking back, and writing this post. So I can easily disavow anything here.
