Portobelo, Panama

 The view from Capt. Jacks a backpackers that has the only internet in town.

 Portebelo is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Unfortunately they have allowed their city to deteriorate and what could be really exciting comes off as grungy. Too Bad.Litter everywhere and conditions you would not normally see in an Historic site.The above building is the customs house dating from the 1600s.

 This bridge dates from the 1600s and the banks are covered with plastic bottles and the bridge is decaying. A real shame.
