More than castles in the sand...
Monday, May 19, we arrived in the very busy port of Colon,
Panama where we spent the next 2 days exploring as much as we could squeeze
in.
And, speaking of squeeze, I am sure you know what this is...
and, no,
they don't grease the sides of the ships... they make it through every time.
With a little help usually.
Lunch time found us just outside the
interesting town of Portobelo where we treated ourselves to wonderful fried
snapper.
The next day we visited Embera
Indian Village
We traveled by taxi for about an hour
before we transferred to a dugout canoe with an outboard motor and off we went
to the village.
We were greeted on arrival by some
local residents
and escorted to the village.
We passed a new house being
framed
A photo of a finished product
How can we get in...? oh I see
the steps just to the right.
The ladies of this little village take
time out to prepare lunch for all visitors.
No plates to wash up here!
Lunch is served... Fried fish and plantain...
Delicious
And of course the souvenir shop demanded
a visit
We said goodbye and
headed back to the ship, after a
fascinating outing.
May 21 we were at sea all day with lots of interesting things to
enjoy or ignore, according to your fancy, or Fancy Dress!
