Panama: Day 2

Ever building skyward. The city seems much cleaner and the automobile traffic more disciplined than four years ago, our last visit. From the street in front of our hotel - about four blocks from the ocean - we can see at least seven more condo buildings under active construction.

The newly-elected President is putting in a new
public transportation system. Today there are plenty of colorful busses around town, and visitors can still hail a taxi to take them just about anywhere for $5.

We stopped for ceviche at the poolside bar in the
El Panama hotel. Cool breezes off the Pacific ocean, pina coladas, and football play-off games on FOX TV
.
