Casco Viejo

I'm now back from Panama, settling in for the 4th of July week. Panama was fun, with a lively old city, currently undergoing renovation and gentrification. There are many rooftop bars and restaurants in Casco Viejo (also known as Casco Antiguo). After 7 consecutive days with rain during our week of meetings, my Friday free afternoon & evening was blessed with great weather. I was even able to catch another dj set and rooftop evening in the old city.

Casco Viejo was settled in 1673, after the first capital of Panama was burned before being attacked by pirates in 1671. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

I managed to take quite a few photos in the picturesque area. This part of the city reminds me of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, but a bit more improved and lively.
