Dane and I went and saw the Miraflores Locks today, a part of the Panama Canal. We also walked around afterwards up the main thoroughfare from the hotel. At the end of the thoroughfare we kept walking and ended up in a bad neighborhood. A man on the street told us to go East but I didn’t understand why, I thought he was telling us to get out of the street. On the next block we passed by a group of people who seemed quite agitated that we were there and told us to head East again. I didn’t understand most of what they said but I asked, “¿Peligrosa?” and they responded very emphatically yes. We started to walk back to the main thoroughfare and I got out my mace in case we found out why they thought the neighborhood was so dangerous.
Everything turned out to be fine and we had a dinner of pizza and pineapple juice. Going to get leave here at 5:00am and head back North towards San Jóse.
