Happy New Year SSP! As I type this I'm still in Panama City for another day, I've been here about 10 days. It's a great, great city for a whole laundry list of reasons! The people are some of the nicest I've ever met in any city. The quality of life in the city is very high, from the squeaky clean tap water to the booming economy. There is poverty like anywhere else but the city center and most of the surrounding areas are remarkably safe at any time of day. I was the only person I saw with an actual camera in tow but I felt comfortable.
This was my first time visiting, this set features photos from multiple neighborhoods in the city proper, the rainforest and the Summit Zoo.

This is a model of Old Panama before it was destroyed by pirates 500 years ago, not to be confused with Casco Viejo (the 2nd city rebuilt after the pirate siege). There's some photos of the ruins scattered in this set.
