After two weeks of work and travel in Colombia, our group of 12 arrived in Panama City for a couple of days of R and R. Our hotel was right on the Panama Canal so ships going by were constant. We visited the Canal Locks and spent a whole day (seperate video) at a Traditional Waunaan Village. Check it out! Produced by Andrew Burnett, Come Out And Play Productions, andrew@goodimpressions.us

The first weekend of August, Catoira recalls the Viking invasion with a Fiesta of International Tourist Interest. Thousands of people arrive there in order to see how the modern and fierce Vikings occupy the West Towers and, this way, they recall this historic event from the 10th century when the real Vikings invaded the city in order to arrive at Jacobsland (Santiago de Compostela). Vikings were a seafaring nation, and it is important to say that they were very handy on the construction of vessels, especially drakkars, and they had very good skills on marine invasions.
