Out and About… Panama Viejo, Panama
Photo by Ryan
Panama Viejo, the historic colonial section of Panama City, Panama, was abandoned in 1671 after being sacked by Captain Morgan. Interestingly, although Captain Morgan violated a peace treaty by attacking the city and was arrested and brought to England, he somehow proved that he “didn’t know there was a treaty”, and was instead knighted and became Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica. I was in Panama City for my friend Brett’s wedding which was held in the abandoned convent in the background. You may have to look closely, but there is indeed a tattoo in this photo.
