Snow cones!

In Panama these are called "raspaos." As you walk around Casco Viejo or drive through any place in the country you will eventually see one of these guys, usually under a shade tree in one of the plazas. But you can also spot them moving down the sidewalks along the road, beaches or anywhere in the city. They make snow cones the old fashioned way - from a big block of ise they purchased at the start of the day.

A traditional Panamanian one means any flavor topped with cream! Usually sell for 35 cents - what a bargain!
