We ended our amazing trip with a last night out to dinner at a nice restaurant called Las Tinajas in Panama City. We all dressed up and everyone looked great...we needed to feel beautiful after spending a week and a half in the hot and humid weather! We didn't get as much food on our plates as we had expected for the prices, but the disappointment was made up for by the show that we enjoyed toward the end of dinner (and the amazing sangria they had there). A small group of men and women dressed up in a few of their traditional dance outfits, dancing to their traditional music, played by 2 men on small drums, a guitarist, and a female singer. All the dresses were very colorful and decorated with jewelry, and the headdresses that the women wore were very intricate and beautiful. It was pretty amusing to also see the men dancing in very thin sandals, flipping their feet about on stage with their little hats. Then came the 2 men wearing these very devilish masks, playing castanets with their hands. I'm surprised they could really even see where they were going with those large masks on, but then again they did run into the wall on their way off stage. Overall it was a great evening, and I was a little sad to know that this was our last night out before we left the next morning.
