Panama City



 While we only touched down in Panama City for three nights scattered between other adventures, we were able to experience enough to feel the pulse of this historically rich Central American metropolis.Panama City has a little bit of everything and during our brief time there we got to experience enough to get a good taste of her flavor. From the festive national holiday of Carnival to centuries old cathedrals. From communities where observant Jewish resided to Chinatown; To expensive modern skyscrapers to neighborhood that looked more like tenement yards. From the working class to the wealthy; from old to new. Panama City was vibrant and exciting.

We enjoyed tasty food, met interesting Uber drivers and cooled off on rooftop pools.  We found Panama City rich in culture, warm in climate and the people all while surrounded by lush mountains, rain forest and ocean and sea. Panama was all that and more. We left happy, relaxed and grateful for the sixteen days we where able to grace the sand, soil and sea of Panama.
Carnival Time



A night time dip in the pool was so refreshing. This was at the Panama Centro closer to the heart of the city.

85 degree weather made roof top pool time most appealing. Especially with views of  beautifully restored, centuries old churches in the background. This was in the old part of the city on our last night. We were in the water every day during our time in Panama.

Old and New
