Cosco Viejo

With our final day in Panama city we decided to go to the colonial section of town. It was kind of cool, but a little run down and had a lot of dangerous areas surrounding it. So dangerous that when we wondered off of the main strip for a moment a police officer came up to us, asked us where we were going, and then escorted us to the market we were going to to ensure nothing happened to us. We ended up walking all over the area, and even saw where the Panamanian president lives, which was cool. we then got milkshakes and called it a tour of colonial Panama.

Afterwards we went to this Lebanese place for dinner, which was good, but obviously not the local food. We then went to a place called green house for martinis (we read the were the best in the city), and then to another place for a beer. At the second place (an English pub) I met a guy who lived close to me in Chicago, so he bought me a shot, and then we parted.

After this we headed home because of our early flight in the morning.
