I spent a good part of Sunday walking around the new Cinta Costera, here in Panama City, Panama. I recently bought a “real” camera, a Canon EOS Digital Rebel Xti, and am still learning how to use it. So far I’ve mastered the on/off switch and I can review pictures I’ve taken. I also learned how to switch it from Full Auto mode to Landscape mode. I’m ready for the big time.

Seriously, these pictures were taken for fun, and I wanted to show some friends, family and business colleagues what the new area looks like. I’ll try again a year from now and I think they’ll be better.

See the full Cinta Costera image gallery here.

Here are a few thumbnails to get you started.

I really enjoy the Cinta Costera's pedestrian walkways.

The Cinta Costera has some very nice walking, jogging and biking trails along the waterfront.
