| Resident of the Presidential Palace |
A couple of pet egrets mill around the Palace's courtyard entrance, seeming to stand guard at Panama's equivalent to the White House. The Presidential Palace in Panama City is prominently poised on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The elegantly white 17th century building is just at the entrance to the Casco Viejo, the historic district, just where the shoreline curves away from Panama's explosively edgy skyscrapered section. In order to see the birds (and the courtyard, for that matter), you need to smile and ask the guards to let you walk past the security barriers for a glimpse of the birds. Or, tours can be arranged in advance.
