“And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.” Genesis 11:5
Panama City on the narrow Isthmus of Panama, is transforming itself into a new metropolis. Even as we speak, most of the highways are being modernized, a metro is being built, several new traffic overhead pathways are on the design board, more than 1,500 new modern buses will replace the depleted Diablos Rojos, the Coastal Strip Three is underway, and hundreds of high-rise buildings are under construction. By the year 2014 Panama City will compete with Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Miami and other gorgeous cities of the region.
The modern skyline, the Coastal Strip, the new Metro and the Old Shell will compete with the Panama Canal as the main attraction for international tourists looking for the latest lost paradise.
Below are a couple of pictures of the modern face of Panama City. Here we go.
