Panama City in a Weekend

Two weeks ago, we had a long weekend at the school, so I thought it would be fun to take a quick trip to Panama with Theresa, another English teacher at the school. It takes about 16 hours to get to Panama from San Jose. While we were there we stayed at a hostel in the colonial part of the city. We also got to explore the downtown area, the Panama Canal, the Amador Causeway, along with getting to attend a church service in English. It was a really fun trip, and here are a few of the pictures I took.
