Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrived in Panama City on Friday, visiting a souvenir shop, a colonial neighborhood and the Panama Canal, where one resident yelled, "Are you Brad Pitt?" The actor smiled and said: "Sometimes."
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt shopped for souvenirs and walked around a colonial neighborhood, Pitt and Jolie visited a former U.S. military base and the construction site of Panama's new Biodiversity Museum, designed by Frank Gehry, at the entrance of the canal in the town of Amador. Accompanied by their three children, a nanny and a personal chef, the Jolie-Pitt entourage, registered as "the Black family," has been staying at the resort 250 kilometers (155 miles) northwest of the capital since last Friday, according to the report reports IHT. The hotel's Web site describes the facility as "spilling down a lush mountainside to an isthmus of golden sand" and says room rates range from US$470 (€360) to US$6,800 (€5,180) a night. Angelina Jolie and her boyfriend Brad Pitt are in Costa Rica, as part of the actress' work as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Jolie and Pitt arrived Monday and visited a group of refugee children and families and to meet Costa Rican officials, the refugee agency, known as the UNHCR, said in a statement. There are about 11,500 refugees in this Central American country, most of whom fled Colombia because of the conflict there between leftist guerrillas, soldiers and paramilitary forces. "We had a marvelous Christmas Day with the Costa Rican people and the families of the Colombian refugees that we met,'' the Oscar-winning actress said in a statement released by the UNHCR. Jolie and Pitt gave presents to young refugees in the capital, San Jose, and they later with representatives of the Costa Rican government. Jolie earlier in the day described the conflict in Colombia as "the greatest humanitarian tragedy in the Western Hemisphere'' that receives little international attention. "My Christmas message to Colombian refugees and to the millions of displaced people in Colombia is that the world has not totally forgotten them.'' |
