Spring break
I don’t know how many of you realize that Panama City is the Spring Break Capitol of the world, but it’s true and it is starting as we speak.
It is still early yet, but the beach is getting crowded and the streets are slowing down anywhere that is near water….
By the end of next week Front Beach Drive will only move at a crawl as swim wear clad people walk across the street to get to the next party.
An army of security guards try in vain to keep the peace as the revellers proceed to liven the beach up with all types of self made entertainment.
Actually the officials do a pretty good job of containing the party goers and things seldom end in disaster.
Traffic accidents caused by scantily clad youths, frolicking along the beach roads, are seldom serious due to the crawling pace of traffic.
Lots of fun is had by all who attend, hangovers are optional….
