Left Costa Rica with so much regretful tan on my face,
I stopped in Panama for one night.
What surprised me in Panama was that,
in this metropolitan city with giant skyscrapers,
people don't speak A WORD of English.
Even a lady from a hostel.
How did this city grow with so much American influence?
I know it is the Canal.
But...
With Spanish colonial architecture, Casco Viejo was cute, though under major reconstruction.
Wanted to buy a hat for my dad,
but no money left...
