In general, I’m not a fan of Panama City, Panama. But, that’s not to say that there aren’t pockets of charm that you should visit. The old city is such a place. Reminiscent of Cartagena, it will take you back in time. Unlike Cartagena, the old town of Panama City feels like a ghost town. While many of the buildings have a veneer of upkeep, there’s a sadness in the quiet dignity of these buildings. As Panama City invests in yet another never-to-be-lived in high rise, the old city site patiently waiting to be rediscovered, not by the tourists, but by the Panamanians. Enjoy today’s Suh-Weet Shot and be sure to stop by to pay your respects when you visit Panama.

I wasn’t a big fan of Panama City. If you’re going to travel to Panama, don’t spend more than a day there. The one thing that didn’t disappoint was the Panama Canal. While the tour has a strong touristy feel too it, watching the large cargo ships pass through the locks was amazing. The tour has lots of great history, video and live action to keep you interested and entertained. So, it wasn’t difficult to capture a Suh-Weet shot like this one of the Miraflores Locks.
