Good morning! The president has declared a national holiday in Panama today. School is cancelled. Government offices closed. Let the celebrations continue!

Panama made it into the World Cup 2018. Last night’s victory over Costa Rica gave the country its first ever spot in the World Cup in Russia.

Travel agencies are advertising round trip tickets to Russia. Headlines and meme’s declaring “The dream came true!” or “Let’s go world!”. I suspect a fair number of fans are sporting hangovers this morning.

Let the celebrations continue…
