The Panama Hotel
How are you? I'm fine and I hope you are, too. When you come to visit next
month, I want to take you to a really wonderful cafe I found the
other day. It's called the Panama Cafe and its famous for its delicious
tea from China and Japan. The cafe is also famous because it's located at 6th
Ave S. and S. Main St. in the International District. Before World War II,
6th and Main was the center of Japan Town. The current owner wanted to preserve
the unique history of the cafe and the hotel that's located upstairs so she
decorated the walls with historical photographs of Seattle, especially that
corner before World War II. Besides the delicious tea and the historical significance
of the building, it's a great place to study or
chat with friends. My favorite thing to do there is to
drink some Chinese white tea and read a book at the big table. Anyway, I
can't wait until you get here. I want to take you everywhere! We could
even go to a baseball game if you want. Let
me know, okay?
Take care,
Naoko
