Panama Travels
Hi Elton, I'm an African American and I just came back last month from vacation from Panama City and Colon. I was not able to make it to David area so I would like to know if you felt comfortable as a person of African decent there? I felt very comfortable in the southern part of Panama and I just wanted to know that things were the same socially in the David area? Regards, Marvin
