Here are the stops for the fifth episode of "The Amazing Race - Family Edition" which aired 10/25/05. Teams left New Orleans (the episode was prefaced with a statement that it was filmed a few weeks before Katrina) and headed for Panama.

This week they took boats through the Canal waters to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and rode brightly-colored Red Devil (Diablo Rojo) buses through Panama City. Some explored the historic Casco Viejo district and others identified bird species at the huge Parque Nacionale Metropolitano. They also had to get a hit off a champion Little League pitcher.

The bickering Paolo family used this leg's Fast Forward to finish first, after terrifying (for one of them, anyway - note the expression in the 4th pic) bungee jumps, and they won a trip for 4 back to Panama City. The Godlewski family arrived last but wasn't eliminated: instead, they'll begin next week with no money and no belongings other than their passports and the clothes they were wearing.. note how many they'd layered on at the pitstop, just in case!









Note: placemarks folder has been revised to correct the location for Estadio Juan Diaz baseball field - thanks to bobcageon59 for the fix!

It was trickier finding some of the spots this week since they left the USA but it was nice seeing exotic international places on TAR again
