We have heard that the celebration in Panama is unlike anything else. We were debating on where to celebrate the new year: either on the roof of a 30+ story condo building or at our beach. We opted to walk to our beach as midnight approached. One of our neighbors explained that a person in a nearby area spends approximately $10,000 each year on fireworks. This was one show we did not want to miss!
When we went to the beach there were only two other people on the beach and by midnight a total of nine people were present to watch the fireworks. It was nothing less than spectacular. Fireworks could be seen for miles along the coastline.
The sky was also filled with plenty of lanterns. Traditionally, when people light them they send a wish with them also. We saw many of these flying up into the sky. This group appeared to have several they were lighting.
The new year was spectacular and beautiful. The dogs were not fond of the fireworks but they seemed to manage okay, thank goodness! A It's hard to believe that it is already the year 2016. No doubt this year will be a good one, just as 2015 was. Happy 2016. May it be a safe and prosperous year for you!
