Panama City - 2007 - 30

Carlos took us back to Casco Viejo, which was even more fun that a couple of day ago because of his quick-witted narrative and stories about the place. It was a bit less hazy this day, so here is a slightly better picture of the main City and all of its construction. Note the right-side of the city, in the distance, you see even more towers going up. This is out towards 'Panama Viejo' and the International Airport. The growth is simply phenomenal.

Carlos also took us on a motor-tour of the new city, weaving through the crazy-traffic of downtown, pointing out the various towers and businesses that are growing there like weeds. This was actually quite fun and gave a neck-stretching view of all of this growth and business. Panama has more banks than a dog has fleas. Panama is catering to International Finance, in this world not a bad decision, so there are banks everywhere, which account for the non-condominium high-rise buildings.
