totally forgot to post some tourist photos i took last year in panama. gosh, seemed like such a long time ago.
my dive buddies Demetrias and Jonathan on our domestic flight from panama city to ?. gosh, i forgot where we flew too.
i flew up a day earlier then the rest of the crew so i could check out panama city. caught the cabs around and explored some cool areas.
pretty simple. i like it.
this was a building near the fish market. all the fishing boats come here in the morning to drop off their catch of the day.
i thought this was pretty cool. a portable shave ice stand.
i had to try one! this guy couldn’t speak one word of english. so i have no idea what i ate. haha.
cool culture spots too. i really like the art in this wall.
i can’t believe i stayed in panama city. it was like shibuya or something. once i got a cab out, i could breathe again.
this is the old downtown of panama.
pano panama. panorama panama.
i even went to a local shopping mall. there was a carnival happening right inside.
the food court. i was kind of bummed seeing KFC.
and i was kind of bummed i couldn’t ride this. the guy said i’m too old. haha.
i went out to dinner by myself. just walked up and down some side streets until i seen something interesting. this panama beer got me into this restaurant.
i ordered the ceviche to start off with. went well with my beer.
then i ordered the deep fried dogtooth snapper, or also known as “pargo.” pretty dam good!
fruit stand local style.
i bought my panama hat, went to sit in the casino, drank some whisky, smoked a cigar, and gambled my life away. haha. just joking. i don’t smoke, and i would never gamble my life away. i actually won!
this trip wasn’t even a year ago. it’s crazy how fast time flies by. good thing i take photos or else i would forget everything that happened. seeing these photos makes me want to go back. explore more and maybe spear a giant tuna?
