Colors

One of the best things about Panama is the colors. From the second you leave the airport in Bocas del Toro, you are bombarded with every shade of every color you can imagine. Houses, businesses, and buildings are pink, purple, yellow, green, orange, blue, and any combination thereof.

The leaves of trees are enormous and all different hues of yellow and green. Birds fly by in flashes of red, black, and electric blue. Flowers are perpetually in bloom surrounded by irridescent insects buzzing about...

And that's just on land.

Underwater there are orange sponges and firecorals draped with brittle stars and jet black urchins.

Purple and blue tipped anemone sway back and forth with the current, and its easy to lose yourself looking in cracks and crevices of coral colonies.
Bottom line, where things at home (especially at this time of year) are dull gray and brown and black, everything in Panama is vibrant and full of life. I love it here.
