Today we went to the pool which was full of children with floats and water guns. This is the trade off. Our last apartment building had few children at the pool. It did however have prostitutes and people that might have been drug kingpins. This building is full of families and no prodtitutes or shady characters which is worth dodging floats and kids.
The pool was crowded because today is Martyrs day which is a holiday to remember a sad event in Panama’s history. I’m too lazy to explain it so copy/pasting this from wiki.
This is especially interesting with the recent comments by Trump about the canal.
Today also marks our five year anniversary in coming to Panama. Hard to believe what started with a six month trip could turn into five years.
