This Pelican had HIS place in the Portobelo Bay.

The Portobelo Bay, which has a great history too long to report on here.



A typical Panamanian Bus, which started ite life as a school bus in the USA and the repainted in Panama and started its second life as a public bus. Great paintings - if one likes this - and if this photo had sound on it, your screen would shake, as the musing is SO loud from its numerous large speakers inside.
The Portobelo Church, where the famous Black Christ is. It is supposed to have special healing powers and people crawl on their knees for days + to visit it and to obtain is healing powers.

Mola making is an important source of the Kuna economy.
