Panama Favorite Tips by frankcanfly

Teak Wood

Fondest memory: My Dad at a local lumbermill, negotiating for some Teak wood for the boat.

We discovered the the wood bought here was not Kiln dried. Although it warped a little bit, it was used for years to touch up and repair Dad`s Sailboat.

Colorful Buses

Favorite thing: They don't compare to the jeepneys in the Philippines, but the buses here are painted quite colorfully!!

Overlooking the Panama Canal

Favorite thing: Grab some cold San Miguel beer and just relax in the tropical heat, watching the ships pass along the canal.

Home Cooking is the best

Fondest memory: Plenty of great places to eat... but a home cooked meal is the way to go!

The Panamanian style of Ceviche is my favorite!

Canal Zone

Fondest memory: After a few San Miguels.....

Canal Zone

Fondest memory: Ships passing through Galliard Cut.

Local Goods

Fondest memory: There are many wonderful crafts to purchase in Panama. My favorite items come from the tribes of southern Panama

Isle Grande

Fondest memory: A beautiful island off the coast near Colon, on the Atlantic side. A great place to snorkle, it seems cut off from the modern world. Catch a water taxi from the mainland.

Festivals

Fondest memory: There are festivals in Panama for several reasons.

I think she is the queen of La Chorrera.
