Panama City Adventure Continues

T. Rex at Albrook Mall!!!

Rojos Diablos (Red Devils) are old U.S. buses given a second life on the streets of Panama City.

The balconies of Casco Viejo (Old Compound).

 

This ship is entering the first lock of the Panama Canal (Miraflor). It will take 8-10 hours for this ship to go through the canal and enter the Caribbean Sea.

A ship, a sailboat, and tugboat are going through the first set of locks (Miraflor). They will be entering Lake Miraflor and continue to the next set of locks.

Shoes Distribution by the Barrio Planta Project

From The Barrio Planta Project's Facebook page:

Thanks to David and Jo Ann Makous, The Barrio Planta Project was given 60 pairs of Converse black & white tennis shoes, donated by Nike. Now our kids in the basketball clinic have shoes, instead of running around barefoot!!

Special thanks to Dan and Cesar for posting the pics, and to Kelvin Marshall for his article about it in the Del Sur, "Air Dyani." Check out some of the pics at: http://www.pbase.com/cesar_junior/shoes

Thanks to Sara Lemieux for helping out, Jo and Dave for making it all happen and of course to our wonderful staff.
