Return to School

Ten more days until the children of Panama return to school. Historically, the weather in Panama City, the largest population center in Panama, is drier December through February than it is June, July and August. As such Panama has scheduled its "summer vacation" for its students beginning around December 15th and throughout January, February and then returning to school in the second week of March.

This works out well for people traveling to Panama during North America's Spring Break as it gives them an opportunity to see the indigenous children in their schools. Here are a couple of photos of the children on Punta Valiente.
