March 2: Casco Viejo, Panama City

3/7/2012

Breakfast at Caffe Per Due where I meet the owner Manuela, a friendly Italian woman from a town close to mine. Today we have to research and decide how to visit San Blas, the dreamy archipelago of the Kuna Yala people, native Indians that dress with colorful fabrics and stitched "molas", geometric ancient drawings. It's not easy to get there and around because it's all managed by the Kunas in their own way, so we decide that it's better to just book everything from here thru Hostel Luna's Castle, where they are very helpful and knowledgeable.
Lunch with Manuela at Cafe Per Due, interesting chat on how she started her business here. I'll have my Green Card sent to her. Just walking around Casco Viejo it's an experience full of surprises: a lot of contrasts between the old/falling apart and the colonial renovated, with the view of the modern city in the background. You can feel the energy of this place: a lot of artists are opening up stores and chic restaurants are next to big families of locals that have their front doors wide open to the living room/ bedroom and they are all sitting in the street.
Yoga before dinner in the breezy ballroom of my guest house, with view on the variety of roofs of the town.
At night there are a lot of street artists around, playing but also performing fire or acrobatic shows.
We hit few spots: El Patio, an artsy bar/ theatrical company where there's a drum and didgeridoo concert, a rooftop fashion show inspired by glowing lights with Panama top society kids, and at the end a Salsa club with nice live band where I can finally move my hips!

Believe in yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Have faith in your own abilities, work hard, and there is nothing you cannot accomplish.
