In Casco Viejo the boys bought a snow
cone to combat the intense heat.



SOooo refreshing.



All I could think was intestinal bug!!! but
everyone survived the snow cone eating without
incident.




The ladies in the photo above are from the
Kuna tribe. They now live in an area on the Caribbean
and in southern Panama. Before Panama was its'
own country it was part of Colombia*. The art form
that this tribe is most well known for are molas.

The people in this tribe do not like their pictures
taken so I sneakily took this from the back. Their
tops have molas sewn on the front and back.



I loved the SANTA themed mola hanging on this line.
The subjects of the molas has definitely changed
with the buying audience in mind.

* For you history buffs there's an interesting chapter
of (not very well known) American history intervening
n this area of the world, what a surprise!
