Panama la Vieja 2



また行ってきました、オールドパナマ。それはそれはよく晴れた土曜日に。街の喧騒から程よく離れているので、静かで落ち着くお散歩道です。

This weekend we went to Panama Viejo again. And guess what? The ruins were still there.



前回は雨が降ってきて行くのを断念した、一番古い(有名な)橋。よくパンフレットなんかに載ってます。しかし、下に流れているのは下水道・・・。観光地整備が進むといいな。

But this time we actually saw Puente del Rey. Kind of a let down. But now we can say that we've seen it. There is supposed to be water that flows underneath the bridge, but really its just sewage, syringes, the plastic six-pack tops that seagulls kill themselves on, TV parts, used-condoms, and some unfortunate turtle trying to find his way out of the god-forsaken hell hole. (That's what we're looking at in the picture -the turtle. I'm pondering to jump in and help...)

暑くて、でも風があって気持ちよい午後でした。
