Moved the dive boat, and it is so big on a trailer. As typical, they always seem much larger out of the water than in…
I borrowed the truck from my friend Neal at Transmission Power in Jacksonville. He sold and rebuilt the transmission that is in it.
Getting closer to Panama by the day…

Okay… just picked up the new compressors for the dive shop in Panama…
I have a pair of Worthington 15CFM 5000psi compressors for filling tanks. I need to adapt them and set them up for the shop. Wooohoooo… getting closer…
Yep, they were kinda heavy, surprised even me…

Buenos Aires, Argentina was nice. Though, I really miss the ocean and the incredible boating, snorkeling and diving in Panama. So, being that there really isn’t any work opportunities in Argentina for me, I moved back. Sold all of my camera gear and anything else that I could, to lighten up the load and such. Got a cheap flight on TACA. The flight flew from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Lima, Peru. Changed planes and then flew to San Salvador, El Salvador. Changed planes and then flew to San Jose, Costa Rica. Changed planes and then flew into Panama City, Panama and arrived around midnight. The next morning took care of some business and then bought a new Canon Powershot G9.
Took a ride out to Boca Chica to see the ocean. I thought that the name of this boat was appropriate (translated: The Sea is my Treasure).
Yep, lots of boats…
And the beautiful countryside… It’s good to be back.

The history of Panama City is so rich. It includes Spanish Conquistadors and Pirates. Arghhhh… did someone mention pirates??? The pirate Henry Morgan is very influential here. He even seized the entire city once… And also Portobello. His name instilled fear into many men…
I´ve been in Panama for a couple of years and haven´t had a chance to visit the ruins. I guess it´s fitting on the day before I depart to do such…. Arghhhh….
The back of an old church…
One of the rooms off of the side of the church.
Looking out into the bay in front of the Panama Canal…
The church from the other side… Did I mention that I like to take pics of old churches???
An old courtyard…
One of the churches closer up…
An interesting shot… the old ruins of Panama with a picture of the future of Panama in the background…
More photos are located in the gallery here.
Okay… so everything is sold… And I just bought my plane tickets online. I´m sitting here in a local pub finishing up… And the sky opens…
That is some serious rain… No… that´s not a river… it´s the street…
Darn… looks like I´m stranded here in the bar for a while…
