Panamanian life

Here are some pictures from around all throughout the country of Panama. I can´t take credit for any of these pictures they are all from other Peace Corps volunteers. I believe all or almost all are actual volunteer´s sites so this is where we live and the people we work with. The only pictures which are not volunteer´s sites are the pictures of Carnaval which are from the city of Chitre which is one of the provincial capitals of the country. Enjoy!
