Panama City - photos 2





Panama City:

- Superb sunset on the Canal with the "Puente de las Americas" in the background. It was built between 1959 and 1962 by USA,
- Typical buses in town. From now, this is the kind of buses we will be taking to do short journies,
- Monument to the workers and French engineers of the Panama Canal at the Bovedas in Casco Viejo. This monument, with the symbol of France, the cockerel, was built in commemoration for the 22,000 French who died during the construction of the Canal,
- Traditional costume of the indigeneous Panameans. We can't see well in the picture but the women were very small (around 1m50)
- Who needs to go to the dentist? We surely did not visit this one!!!!
