Day 1 – Welcome Reception and Panamanian Dances

Our welcome dinner wasn’t until 6 PM, so I slept in and had a mid-morning breakfast. The Masi restaurant has indoor and outdoor areas, and I amused myself watching pigeons and other birds scavenging for food off the outside tables and floor. After a day of relaxation, we had our welcome reception and dinner in the hotel’s Tejas restaurant and enjoyed a surprise performance by Panamanian dancers and musicians.
