Independence Day in Panama

12/13/09

Boquete is the center of the Independence Day Parade here in the province of Chiriqui. Its really nice, this little town comes alive with people and marching bands from all over Panama. It reminds me of growing up in Napa Valley, California, where I lived in a little town called Calistoga, and that was the center of the 4th of July festivities, with the parade and the fair. Memories there and memories here.I like the ice cream vendor rolling along with the parade!
Girls dressed in the famous Pollera dresses.
All kinds of folks watching from the side of the road.
Nobe Bugle indigenous family sitting on the curb watching the parade. I love the beautiful colors they dress in every day.
