We napped for a few hours in the room after we arrived and then wandered the neighborhood looking for a snack.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel is in the Casco Viejo district of the capital city and only a few blocks from the presidential palace. The area is gentrifying, although unevenly. One block features bars with dress codes, while the next has garbage in the streets and stray dogs.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel is over 100 years old and most of the interior is marble. Owned by an American expat family, they rent everything from shared bunkbeds to a penthouse suite. Our accomodations are in the middle of that range, but closer to the penthouse than a shared room full of bunkbeds.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not even 9 pm yet, but I think we&#8217;ll be turning in early after the long night of travel. Tomorrow we&#8217;ll head down to the nearby fish market to try some of the fresh ceviche then wander off to explore the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We landed in Panama after connecting via a red-eye flight through Miami.
