A sloth |
Here are a very few highlights of last week's trip to Panama and Costa Rica. I had always wanted to see a sloth. I had always wanted to see the Panama Canal and to see a toucan. We saw them all, and much more.

We started at the dock in a large cargo port in Colon, Panama. |

We quickly entered the first set of locks on the Panama Canal, which was as fascinating as we expected. |

In Panama and Costa Rica we enjoyed many nature walks, seeing a very large number of species of plants, birds, reptiles, monkeys, fish, whales, dolphins, and little critters. |

A false killer whale beside the ship. You can just see the anchor at left.
They love to surf in the ship's bow wave. Later some dolphins did the same thing. |
I'll be adding more posts about the ship, the trip through the canal, and all the wildlife we saw.

Well, the first thing I notice here is that it is green and looks warm -- which I call a refreshing change of pace! And fun!
Looks like we're getting slammed again tonight... will it ever end?
