It is quite possible that 50% of people at the word “Panama” will think of a headdress, another 45% will think of the country Panama with the capital Panama of the same name, and the remaining 5% will not think of anything at all. Although it turns out that the state of Florida, USA, also has its own city of Panama, but even here we pass by. We will be interested in the city within the city - Panama City Beach.
The city is located in the Gulf of Mexico, is famous for its purest clear water and is one of the unofficial biker capitals of America. Even here, however, a digression must be made. The story here will be about "Bikers" - people who love motorcycles and move on them, and not about the "bikers" shown in the series "Sons of Anarchy".
There are several seasons in the year when bikers from all nearby states travel to the Gulf. They are always welcome in sunny Florida: after all, for the small town of Panama Beach, such tourists are the main source of income.
America has very strict traffic rules. Any violations are punishable by fines, but many concessions have been made for Panama. For example, allowed riding without a helmet.
Among the motorcycle enthusiasts themselves, seasonal conventions in Panama are treated differently. Part - loves and practices, considers it a real adventure. And the other half looks at everything extremely negatively and condemns the “civilian” way of rest.
If we were to think about what a few biker weeks on the beach would be like, this would be a short list. The main and most important thing is riding a motorcycle. People communicate and get to know each other, show themselves and their iron horse. Second, but no less important, are beer and music.
The city creates all the conditions for the realization of this joy. To my surprise, one random day, they were performing in a parking lot in the city center AC/DC with a three-hour concert absolutely free.
The city itself is a small resort; hotels and small inns are located along the shore, and on the opposite side there are various shops and souvenir shops.
Liquors Stores are in particular demand, something like bars where you can take a bottle of it on tap or take it with you.
In the next part, about abandoned buildings.
I hope we will one day live to see free AC / DC concerts in the parking lot))
They even change traffic rules for them)
