Hello parents and other folks stuck in the cold!
Looking at Monkeys on Lake Gatún
Hope your valentines day went well, ours did! We traveled by boat on the canal and saw it in action with oil tankers and other giant ships. We also saw animals in the forest, like these cute little monkeys and sloths. We ate lunch on this beautiful island and ate wonderful Panamanian food supplied by our tour guides. Then we went to the forest and observed leaf cutter ants and parrots. For dinner we ate good old pizza and ice cream and walked around the city. It’s so pretty here in the old part of the city. Izzy brought us hershey kisses for valentines day, which was very nice. This morning we had the morning off, so some of us went out for breakfast, and others like myself took the time to sleep in (my parents will not be surprised). We skyped the Costa Rica group and then we toured the city in our own groups. We just came back from lunch and will be heading to the canal locks and museum in a few minutes. Then we will be flying to Bocas. A 45 minute plane ride sounds nice compared to our 5 hour ones before!
Hope all is well back home and enjoy the snow predicted for the weekend (we sure don’t miss it)
