Panama, try again

These pictures are in order from bottom to top so go to the bottom pictures first. This is the outhouse they had. I guess I will send all of these now and maybe do another post later. Hope you all enjoy them.

This is the humble home where we stayed in the jungle. The closest hut is where thy cook and eat the second one is where they sleep.

This is the local market in the Indian settlement. Our guide (center) bought some rolls there.


At times they had to push the canoe over the rocks because the river was low. Dad got out and helped push because he had sandals and Jed helped push with a bamboo pole from in the boat cause he just had his hiking boots.

Dad and I are in our canoe for the 12.5 mile trip up the river in the jungle. It was really luch and beautiful.

I don't know how to turn this picture but it is Dad at a banana plantation. The blue bags cover the bananas so the insects don't get them. They are on the bananas the whole time they are growing.

This is us with our guid hiking up the river on the same hike as down below. It ws beautiful. Dad is taking the picture. This is the one where we swam through the cave further down river.

This is a picture of a cayman we saw in a small lake on our jungle hike on the island of Bocas del Toro. They weren't in the rivers.


We saw this hippy van in old town Panama city and were surprized to find that it had a Kentucky license plate! The man with us is our taxi driver who took us all over Panama City for the day.

This is the locks again. I don't know if you can tell but the ship has sunk quite a bit from the last picture. It is going through the locks and heading out to the Pacific ocean.
