School kids singing "Viva Panama"

While I was taking some shots of the art work on these buses the friendly kids invited me inside. This was great because I really wanted to get some shots of the inside of a diablo rojo, like the drivers seat, and how crowded the buses can be.

Some kids started dancing, and they all started singing. Pounding on the bus with their hands and empty water bottles to keep the beat. All things that would have gotten me thrown off a school bus when I was a kid. It was a very cool unexpected moment, I wish I hadn't answered the phone during their song, but my wife was calling and I wanted her to hear the crazy situation I was in.

After they finished singing they asked if I was going to put the video on the internet. So I pulled out the little notebook I carry around and a few of them lined up to write down email addresses and facebook information. I could only find one teacher who had an email address. I'll be sure to send this to all of them and hope they share it with the rest of their class.

@808yewtube I sent this out to a few email addresses I collected from the kids and teachers, hopefully the whole class will get to see it.
