We were tired of the simple hearty meals of the birding lodge and wanted to experience some Panama culture not associated with birding.
Mike found a restaurant using Google maps that had a creative menu. The lodge arranged a driver to get us there.
The meal was exquisite, fresh watercress, smoked pork chop with tamarind sauce, sea bass with a garlic mojo and a wider selection of wine than the lodge.
The taxi ride back was an adventure. We previously found out that taxis in Panama pick up multiple passengers, but we were still surprised to find a family of three in the back when the taxi pulled up. The driver beeped and waved at all his friends, stopped for gas, let the other passengers out, and took us to the lodge for a total of $3.
