Last night I wandered the moody streets of Panama's old city looking for a bar that moves. With tents and torches, La Casona, as it's known, occupies ruined buildings of Casco Viejo before they are restored to their original condition, giving home to a unique mix of alternative music, styles, and personalities. Past the midnight food stands, through the quinta Alley, down a broken stairway onto a rock balcony overlooking the ocean, I found it. The lights of the Panama Canal twinkled in the distance and the red stage flood washed over me as an acoustic night, showcasing local singer/songwriter talent, got underway. The mix of people is amazing. I met circus performers, Spanish businessmen, emigres from Colombia, visitors from Venezuela, onlookers from the United States, and as always, the strong local contingent cheering on their friends. Panama is a party. If you want glittering glass nightclubs and a Miami style dance scene, we've got that, but if you're on a different vibe, well, we've got that too!
