More Parades! Mes De La Patria – Panama
Carrie was already awake, but I woke up today to the sound of drumming!
To be honest, in that space between sleeping and waking, I thought it was construction going on somewhere.
But to be here for two days of parades. How fun!
The shower in our room faces the street where the parade is happening (about 1/2 block away) so I had great parade music for my shower this morning!
The TV here is showing the parades from Panama City (complete with an announcer whose voice is as grating as Joan Rivers) and they are calling it Mes De La Patria, which literally translated means Month of the Country.
Here are some pictures from this morning’s parade.
And the video footage I took this morning:
