So back on the bus, through the Gold Zone, along the malecon, past all the hotels and back into Old Town.
Once again off at the Central Market and walked towards our favorite plaza.
There is a lot of restoration construction going on.
They are taking buildings that look like this:
And turning them into beautifully restored homes, restaurants, shops, museums and more.We were very impressed with the direction they are going in this area.
To Topolo for dinner!
I had shrimp in cilantro sauce!
And for $12 US!
We ate in the beautifully lit and decorated courtyard.
Then we explored their wine bar and sat for all of 15 seconds...
Then to explore the shops and area around the plaza.Alan and Susan found this neat shop with loads of beautiful musical instruments, a pond with stepping stones and all kinds of interesting and different art.
Then another walk around the plaza, where Susan and I received a "free bracelet" just for "looking in a jewelry store"
Where we enjoyed an after dinner drink.
Where I painstakingly somehow refrained from buying the cutest beagle puppy in the entire world!
Back on the bus around 10 pm to the marina, to the boat, to bed!
