Ron Abuelo Sweets
Who? Grandpa Ron What? In my historical apartment tonight, located in Bella Vista, I made rum cake, an old family recipe but with Ron Abuelo. I shared with my roommates. These will surely only get better. Life is delicious.
Stairway to Heaven
Who? Bob Where? At this time of year, it’s very common to have afternoon rain in Panama City. For a few seconds as the rain clouds arrived, I caught this “stairway to heaven” off my balcony. Even a rainy day can be beautiful!
Plaza Balboa
Who? Leslie M. Where? La Cinta Costera (coastal beltway) A follow up to the previous picture and post, here you can see a statue and plaza dedicated to Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa. He is best known for having crossed the Isthmus of Panama to the Pacific Ocean in 1513, becoming the first European to lead an expedition to have seen or reached the Pacific. There are quite a few areas of interest in Panama City’s newest park, La Cinta Costera, including playgrounds and swings for kids, large water fountains, and various basketball, soccer, and volleyball courts.
