Today is December 28, 2010. The time is 04:40 a.m. This day is considered, “Día de los Inocentes”, a day very similar to April Fool’s Day. April Fools’ Day is celebrated in the Western world on April 1st of every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools’ Day. All types of jokes and pranks are carefully organized in Panama on this day, so I’ll better be extra careful.
I’m getting ready to pick up my head scan results at the Centro Hospitalario de la Caja de Seguro Social. They said it would be ready by 07:00 a.m. I hope it’s true and not a prank on the Día de los Inocentes.
Even though Christmas is gone, I still cling to its spirit. It’s such a nice celebration, that it saddens me to let it go. So for today, I decided to include three photographs to remind you of the Christmas celebration in Panama. Soon we will be celebrating New Year’s day, but in my opinion, it doesn’t have the mojo that Christmas has.
Here we go my friends, with a flashback of Christmas 2010.

Starting tomorrow I will post several eye-opening photographs of the Villas Navideñas organized by the Municipality of Panama. From day one it was the immediate delight of both adults and children alike. Please stay tuned for more gorgeous compelling photographs. Good Day.
