Visitors!

Hi All
Time to catch up since we returned from our magnificent Galapagos adventure.
In March we traveled to Panama with our friends Maria, Rich, Michelle, Chris, Fish and Yo Yo. One day we all took the Panama Canal Rauilroad through the canal to the city of Colon...

From Colon we traveled by rental van to the amazing Gatun locks...

 From Gatun it was on to historic Fuerte San Lorenzo, the former choke point for all the gold and silver the Spanish looted from the Inca

The following day some of our group traveled to a village of the Embera tribe, an indigenous people who live much as they did centuries ago.
