Bus trip and more of the city

So, yesterday we took one of those double-decker tourist bus rides (we got really cheap ticket through the program) and got some good views of the city. We ended up doing the bus for about an hour and then we wanted to get to the beach. It was beautiful, and we went back today for a couple hours. The pictures below are all from the bus trip (sorry, no beach pics yet). Most are just of the city or the National Palace. That was the main stop we made, there are lots of shots of the actual palace (which sits on a hill overlooking the city) and of the views from it.

Observation of the day: Trees
There are trees lining 95% of the streets here--on all the downtown streets everywhere. I tried to get a couple of just normal streets in the pictures so you can get an idea of what it's like. They aren't like the little trees in subdivisions by us, they are enormous, old, huge trees that sometimes grow over the street and make canopies. It's really amazing.
