We just got back from a 10 night trip with Neni and Pops to Panama! We took 3000+ pictures using 5 different cameras down there that we need to sort through, but here is at least a quick look at some of the highlights. In general, the girls did very well. This was Lila's first international trip and Anna Kate's first one since our trip to Ireland four years ago this month.
Our first few days were spent in Panama City where our
hotel rooms and pool overlooked the Canal. We did a partial transit canal boat tour through 2 sets of locks, saw the new locks under construction, rode the historic train in a dome car, drove through the rain forest searching for animals, and visited an old Spanish fort (San Lorenzo).
