| Juan Pablo translates the Embera chief's story |
We visited the village of the Embera Indians in the Chagres National Park. We arrived there by canoe. The chief gave us a talk about their way of life, having moved from Darien province. We saw how they built their houses from palm leaves and bamboo.Then they cooked and served us lunch of fried fish and bananas served in a banana leaf, plus fresh pineapple. It was delicious.

We had chance to see their handicrafts on sale - wooden carvings and jewellery - and watch a dance display. There was a heavy storm. We returned to Panama City by canoe and bus, Manuel's driving not improving. Tonight we're going for dinner with the Germans. We said goodbye to Juan Pablo. We learnt a lot from him, even in German.
