Our apartment- and neighborhood.

-

Patt and I and then Fa and Jim are renting an apartment on the eighth floor of Parque Marbella.  It is in the Marbella section of the City (clever name for the apartment huh). and quite nice.

 The view is very very nice, gets a great breeze some of the time.  This sea breeze, v land breeze — here though it is jungle breeze and hot.  Don't know if I have mentioned that Panama is hot or not but it may be a good time to do so.

 The living / dinning room is quite nice, see Pacific out window and neighbors too.  The A/C is a savior.

 The kitchen is well appointed and looks into the living room

 the other view of the living room

 and down the hall (seen through the bay to the kitchen in the photo above) are two bedrooms and two bathrooms.  Photo below is master bedroom — the large bath room has a large closet too.  Did not mention but just off the kitchen is a maids quarters in case you traveled with one.  (it is not furnished)

 street view in front of the apartment looking away from the ocean.  note school busses on the left.  We are alado de Escuela Japonesea de Panama.  Makes for easy direction telling.

 The view back down the street.  The red flowered tree really is pretty — school busses on the right in photo below.  (note the "twisty building in the background) At the Red flowering tree we make a turn when walking to Stephen and Jens and walk up a rather narrow street lined with apartments and single family homes.

 It is a pretty street with several trees left standing in the stree with little circles around them.

 as shown in this photo.

 and then you get to Calle 50 a major business street with lots of traffic and sites of construction.  Note the tall building in the distance on the right. it is the same in the photo   looking down the street away from the ocean.  It will show up in a number of photos of the skyline - it is distinctive and from our location it is just in a central location though we do not go directly past it, it seems to often be in our line of sight.  Jen calls it the twisty building.—
