Celebrate We Will

"Every single day is worth celebrating" - Something that someone in church told me one day that has really stuck with me. This is absolutely true, and is incredibly visible in Panama. I'm pretty sure that every single day of the year is a holiday of some sort or there is some kind of celebration. One lady told me that half the time, people don't even remember what they're celebrating, but they know there is reason to celebrate, so as Dave Matthews would say, "Celebrate We Will." I'm going to make this more of a picture blog to show things that I think are worth celebrating or events that are currently being celebrated. 

Celebrating 160 years of the Episcopal Church's presence in Panama

The parade of the Episcopal down Via Espana

A day retreat that the 6th grade from school went on to learn more about the theme "friendship" - definitely something worth celebrating!

Cinta Costera - a brand new walkway along the coast with a beautiful view of the city

Flowers in the city! Such a rare but beautiful sight

The smallest park I have ever seen that is located in the heart of the city

Got to see the Panama Canal AND watch two ships pass through the Miraflores Locks - dream come true!

Next year, the canal will be celebrating 100 years!

A beautiful and (finally) sunny Sunday!

Celebrating having a super cute little brother

My girl Vicky who is absolutely insane but so sweet

Panama celebrates Fashion Week this week, as well as other random celebrations. After dinner we explored the city and randomly got painted for Neon Night - Panama literally celebrates everything

The coolest apartment building ever

I don't even need to explain why it's necessary to celebrate burritos

There is so much to celebrate. Sometimes it's grand events, and sometimes it's the simple things. Either way, I have realized how much I truly have to celebrate, and how much more there is to come. Speaking of GRAND EVENTS to celebrate, I am leaving in 3 short weeks to go to my sister's wedding in Amsterdam. Stay tuned for that blog, which will probably be overflowing with wedding pictures. YAY!

Until next time!
