Colon,
Panama
(2024)
We
have traversed the Panama Canal 4 times, but this is our first
visit to Colon |
|
We drove through
the city by bus |
Across
a main rivers feeding the canal locks |
 |
 |
Our destination was a native village accessible
by dugout canoes |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
We were greeted with music |
|
 |
 |
In a community structure we were given an introduction |
|
 |
 |
A
demonstration of crafts using all natural materials and dyes |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
 |
Lunch
was fish and fruit |
|
 |
 |
We
had time to wander around the village |
|
 |
 |
An
array of locally produced crafts to buy |
|
 |
 |
  |
When
this young girl learned from my Spanish that I was a teacher, she took me to see the school Instruction includes Spanish as well as their native language  |
We
enjoyed native dances and music |
