On a recent trip to Panama City, the Gringo nearly twisted his ankle. So very quick tip for all you explorers – look where you are going, Lawsuits against the government and 
property owners are very hard to win in Panama, therefore many of the streets and sidewalks have obstacles that you would not normally have to watch out for in the United States and Canada.
Here you can see what I almost walked into in a section of town called Obarrio – the banking district. Uneven sidewalks, unc
overed holes, and cracks are everywhere — but it truly is part of the charm of the city.
Just pay attention to where you are going – including looking down. Also – if you are drinking — don’t drive and don’t walk – take a cab.
