Partying with the president.

Last night, we attended the inauguration of a nearby real estate development's beach club.


An open bar attracts a lot of people, so it was definitely THE place to be. Hey, if it's good enough for the President of Panama, Ricardo Martinelli, then it's good enough for us.

There was a security detail on the president, but it was quite laid back. He's a very approachable guy, very friendly. I loved it: he's the president, but he's still a human being. The security kept a close watch on him, but gave him space to live his life.

I've never been in the presence of a US president, but from what I gather, it's quite a different situation.

We had a great evening with our friends, and enjoyed a stellar view and great music. There wasn't a lot of food, and our little group got hungry and left. Turns out, we missed out -- everyone said that things really got cranking shortly after we left. I don't think there's any correlation.
