Blogging day

Panama City, Panamá, Panama
It's 9pm. Spent most of the day catching up three blogs; still three days behind.
Went out for money and food. Walking is tough after putting a couple good gashes under my right foot on coral. Tried three or four ATMs: couldn't read my card. I've had the best luck with HSBC banks, but they've been bought out by Banistmo in Panama. Went there and had no problems. Luckily, I'm only a block and a half from a main drag, and all these banks were within five blocks down that road.
Then I went to Subway for dinner and got a 12 in Italian BMT for $6.50. Two doors down is a mini mart where I got a beer, a Coke, and shampoo (washed my hair three times last night to get the sand and salt out - almost hated to get rid of the salt as I tasted it coming off of my head: can you tell I really enjoyed my island getaway?!)
Went back to my room and ate while uploading the pics from my trip (they didn't upload the first time because of the videos: had to start over, then do the videos separately). Still waiting on the videos, I got caught up on Facebook. It's weird that I can get bogged down on the internet, but Facebook works pretty good most of the time.
It's 9:30. Maybe I can finish day 2 of San Blas before bedtime, then do the other two days in the morning.
Mission accomplished: day 2 blog is in the books.
