🇵🇦 November Holiday Parade: Separation Day in Panama

[@papi7672]

In Panama, we celebrate one separation day and one independence day. On November 03, we celebrate Panama's separation from Colombia, and on November 10, we celebrate Panama's independence from Spain. Nice video, very interesting.

@@papi7672 What about November 28th? I’m so confused 😆🇵🇦

[@sir.alibirth_4322]

​​@@Pattybluehayes On November 10, "the scream for independence" is celebrated in the Villa de Los Santos, but it does not happen until November 28, when Panama achieves complete independence from Spain.

@ Ahhhhh, ok! Thank you.

[@mariaolson3034]

Thank you so much for sharing this experience. I'm Panamenian, have so many years I don't visit in this month, cause work. But I can't wait to move there to enjoy every holiday with my family.

[@Pattybluehayes]

@@mariaolson3034 I’m so glad you could enjoy the virtual celebration 🌸 Hopefully you’ll be with your family soon 🇵🇦

[@MercuryWolff]

So glad you found your baby!! I'd probably growl and howl at the other cat hehehe. (or speak to it in "cat" lol) btw, really stoked to hear about Nov 28 holiday! and learning of the Dec. holidays was great, too. I would most certainly appreciate the drumming as i am a musician myself ☺ my dog friend has never been scared of fireworks or thunderstorms, thankfully. i know she will fit right in 😅

[@Pattybluehayes]

@@MercuryWolff Thanks 😻 yes, I’m so relieved she was okay. The holidays are very fun and festive here 🌸🌸🌸

Thank you for sharing this information about the holidays of November. Your videos and beautiful:) Hopefully the rain from Sarah wasn’t too bad. We were there in June 2024.

[@Pattybluehayes]

@@KeithCindyPanama I’m glad it was helpful ☺️ Sadly, some areas have had bad damage from so much rain 🙏

IMHO it was probably the US postal service. I mailed (USPS) a certified letter from the western panhandle of FL to Atlanta (FYI - an approximate 5 hour drive) and it took well over two weeks to get there.😤😬

[@Pattybluehayes]

@@stevel6420 🤦‍♀️ Yes it was the USPS - and I had another document go completely missing mailed from AZ to MD.

Patty I was here too as a kid when the invasion happened. It was the answer to my prayers when it happened, we were almost being kept hostage by the dictator. We couldn’t leave the house, it was a mess. I prayed Uncle Sam would come to rescue us and he did, via old man Bush. I know there’s mixed feelings especially if you lived in the area it got bombed, however, it was no way to live in the western world like we were doing. Needed to be done 🇺🇸 ❤️🇵🇦

[@Pattybluehayes]

@@juanluiscarbonepicard-ami5379 That’s the general consensus I get, and I’d imagine a bit different sentiment if you lost loved ones 😢

[@junglejimbacktopanama3882]

I was stationed there from 1989-1991, without that military action Patty probably wouldn't be enjoying her life as it is in Panama now!!! P.S. No bombs were dropped in Panama City!

[@Pattybluehayes]

@@junglejimbacktopanama3882 According to many accounts, there was a tremendous amount of violence in pty, in El Chorillo. amsterdamnews.com/news/2023/12/19/el-chorrillo-the-masscre-of-an-afro-panamanian-neighborhood/

The paradox. Now Colombians like me want to live in Panama. Since Petro took office and is destroying the country. We love and admire Panama and their new President.

[@Pattybluehayes]

@@arena2236 Crazy how things change in the world.

[@HollowPaws7]

You should allow your cat to guard its own territory, including the garden.. its unfair to keep it inside for a year... You shouldnt put up with the neighbours cat thinking your garden is theirs..

[@Pattybluehayes]

@@HollowPaws7 Cats are definitely safer inside. She hasn’t wanted to go out 😔 Too scared. But I have not seen the bully cat in over a week. At all 😮 So I may try again in dry season, small outings where I’m close by.
