Got organized and went to the Simon Boliver Museum. Was just down the road within walking distance. Boliver was called the Liberator because he was instrumental in liberating 5 countries from Spanish rule. (Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. Panama was annexed from Colombia early in the 1900s by the USA for the exclusive use of the Panama Canal). Then relaxed with the locals hostel patrons.
Portrait of Simon Boliver
Upon Simon Boliver's Death, his physician, made a mask of his face and had this tome carved in his likeness.
One of the 5 original flags of the liberated countries,
