"This week my comp and I received permission in order to change our p-day to go visit the ruins in our area. The place isn't open on Mondays. Today the ruins here in Panama were pretty awesome. Found out that this area has been inhabited for a long time by indigenous Indians. They lived in the area before the Spaniards came in and took control of everything. The ruins of the city were built in the 1500's and 1600's. However, after a pirate attack (Pirate Morgan) the city was left destroyed and the people moved to an area further inland. We walked through the area where the ruins are. Saw the remains of churches, homes, bridges, all sorts of stuff. We even got to go up in one of the towers and see all of it from up above.
"Me at the top of tower."
"One ruin is me in front of an old church."
"The other is a picture of me near one of the skeletons of the ancient Indians that was unearthed here in Panama viejo."
"Some pics of some stuff from [the] museum."
