Day 109 - 119 (July 1 - 11) Panama City

Day 109 - 119 (July 1 - 11) Panama City
I got in fairly late Thursday night and went to my cousin's and crashed. We had the service for my Uncle Pepe the next day and a few other family things to do. My cousin Billy took me, with his son Guillermito, to the clinic. The doctors there decided that I had a muscle problem and gave me more painkillers and muscle relaxers.

Over the next few days I spent a lot of time doing nothing and trying to rest my back. I saw my family a good bit and did a couple of things with them. I did get out and go down to the causeway with a friend from Couchsurfing. I know its been 9 years since I have been here but I am constantly amazed at the amount new roads and buildings that have been built.

I also spent a lot of time (when awake) on the internet trying to find things to do and plan some more of my trip, but mainly I slept and tried to get better. Eventually I settled on going up to Boquete to volunteer at an animal rescue center. Its been great seeing family and catching up. But I still have the whole month of October planned to be here in Panama.
