Panama City

Panama City, Panama: Boca La Caja. This squatters village used to be outside Panama City now it's inside Panama City. Real Estate Developers want them out. The developers aren't willing to pay the asking price. These people are enveloped by progress. Skyscrapers abound. Most of the men are local fisherman. When the tide is high enough they can get their boats out. Others work at a factory down the street. You can smell when the tide is out, unfortunately.
