One of the El Valle attractions listed in the Lonely Planet book on Panama is the square trees. By the way, every single person I met was also using the Lonely Planet guide to Panama. So after lunch Malcolm, Laurie and I hiked through the woods to see them.
A good lunch on this outdoor patio near the town center.
Square Trees this way.
And this is them! Well, there were really only 2 of them and they were kinda square, it reminded me of the Plymouth Rock. Lots of hype, not much substance, but I enjoyed the walk there.
Best juice ever! Maracuya is passion fruit... delicious.
My only proof of the windy conditions, duck feathers standing up.
Around town on market day, Sunday.
This is their big artisan's market, but it's not at all like the one in Otavalo, Ecuador.
The bus stop where I tried in vain to catch a bus out of town.
Young love.
Great pastries filled with guayava.
This type of furniture was all over town, even in my hotel room.
