Via Argentina


Via Argentina. This is the street we live on. It is also thought to be very European because it has trees lining the road (unlike the rest of the streets in El Cangrejo). In addition there's a cafe named "Ludwig van" as well as stenciled grafiti of punk rockers from back in the day.

Monuments populate Via Argentina including generals, boxers, scientists, etc. At the end of Via Argentina (where it meets Via Espana) there's a bust of an Argentinean, General Belgrano, some jerk from the wars of independence during the 1820s and a gift from the Argentinean embassy. More interestingly, is the monument to Albert Einstein (called "Einstein's head"). A little reminder that El Cangrejo was once a large Jewish neighborhood in Panama City.

これから住むアパートは、このアルゼンチン通りに立地してます。ヨーロッパ風と言われている通りで、いろんな国のレストランが林立しています。マーケットもあるし、小さな病院・歯医者もあるし、パン屋さんもあるし、コピー屋さんもあるし、住むのには何かと便利そうです。携帯電話も購入したし、毎日少しずつ、生活が整ってきてます。今日も快晴で、暑かった!でも、雨季なのに、雨に降られなくて、本当に感謝感謝の毎日。

Hi Jeff and Naoko! Congratulations on your move to Panama! What an adventure, I'm so jealous. Kathy cleaned my teeth today and showed me your blog. I've added you to my Bloglines so I can't wait to hear about how things go for you.
