Father Rucker takes a short ride on the ferry from the SS Gabrielle to Balboa's dock area, along with a number of his crewmates. Balboa's train station is only a quarter mile up the road. It is even hotter and more humid inside the train station than outside (if that's possible in this brutal equatorial environment!), and all of the signs are in Spanish, but fortunately the clerk at the counter speaks English. A short time later, Father Rucker is aboard the train, on his way to Panama City. The trip to the station at Panama City takes only 20 minutes.royya wrote:Upon reaching to Balboa, Father Rucker intends to disembark and feel the ground. His intentions are to travel for a one day trip to Panama city, taste the local food and to visit a nearby chapel or a church for impression. Maybe there is a chance to visit a local museum or a market where the wildlife of the area is exhibited. Whoever wants to join him is more than welcome.
