Update

Well, we left Panama for Colombia. The bikes flew, like us, over the Darien Gap. Although Panama is connected to Columbia there isn’t a safe viable road connecting the two. This is known as the Darien Gap. Essentially, it is not safe territory.
Here are the bikes setting in the rain.

The flight was l hour. We arrived safely in Bogota, Colombia. A city of 10 million people. Very nice, clean, and progressive. Heavy police and military presence for the safety of the citizens. We walked around to the major historical sites.
A must visit was to the Museum of Gold. It possesses significant artifacts from before Christ.
A kings outfit.
