I met Jose at the cargo terminal at 9AM sharp. Jose is Alejandro's father from Overland Embassy and he directed me first to Customs to get the bike checked out of Panama. It was a very different experience at the airport than at the border. The customs agent, a black woman about my age, came out and chatted with me for quite awhile. She stamped my paperwork and said "Todo terminado, puedes irte" (All finished, you can go). Going out on a limb with my Spanish I said "nos estábamos conociendo" (we were just getting aquatinted) and gave her a wink. She gave out a huge belly laugh and high fived me. Off to the shipping terminal where the bike was inspected and all of my bags were scanned. I strapped my helmet, boots and riding gear on the bike and wheeled it to the back of the warehouse. It will fly on Saturday and I will pick it up in Bogota on Monday. Jose took drove me back to Overland Embassy's office which took about a half hour. He gave me a great opportunity to practice my Spanish and I learned that he was originally from Venezuela and had come to Panama about 40 years ago. He stopped at a little roadside food vendor and bought me a snack. "Estos son venezolanos. Los como todo el tiempo pero no son saludables." (These are Venezuelan. I eat these all the time but they're not healthy). "Too much cholesterol" he added in English. It was a tasty piece of cheese wrapped in fried dough. What's not healthy about that? I can't say enough about Overland Embassy. They made this part really easy and it was actually a little cheaper than other solutions I had found on my own. I took an Uber back to my hotel and spent the afternoon walking around the city. Pamama City reminds me of Singapore. It is a thriving modern city built upon an old colonial city. Colorful colonial buildings and tucked here and there between glass and steel skyscrapers. The traffic is solid. The narrow roads not keeping up with the population. Like Singapore, Panama City is also very multi-ethnic with workers, food and music from all over the world. I walked along the waterfront to the historic district which has been beautifully restored with lots of boutique coffee shops, restaurants, museums and art. It is my last day in North America for a while. Tomorrow I will be flying to Colombia to start my South American adventure.
