Six Days in Panama--Part 2

We celebrated Stephen's day of birth on Friday, November 20.  We made our way to Casco Viejo--the old part of the city--and one of the highest rated restaurants on Trip Advisor.  The best thing for Stephen was that they serve breakfast all day.  So even though we didn't arrive until 11:00 am, he was still able to have eggs and bacon; and, then, because it was lunchm he was able to have a complimentary chocolate cupcake with a candle!



The old town was fascinating--quite a mixture of very old ruins, remodeled old buildings and new buildings.  There were lots of restaurants, old churches, the presidential palace (they wouldn't let us get close) and very narrow streets.










We walked back to the hotel along the Cinta Costera (path along the ocean) and met this fun family.  




We took a quick dip in the pool--it was really pretty cold considering how hot is was.  After a couple hours of rest, we walked to La Vespa for dinner.  It was great Italian food and the servers were very nice.





It was a happy, happy 65th birthday for Stephen.
