Panama Canal

Jim's dream of seeing the engineering of the Panama canal along with our being together with Terry and Doug and Loraine and Whitney.   We had some challenges with sickness and travel but all in all we love being together and having good entertainment and food and warm sun. I love meeting people from different cultures and this time we got a semi private dance class in Cartagenia, Colombia

getting dressed up is fun for me and Jim ,Here we are in the quiet place where we could meet up with Doug each day and even have high tea before dinner ( AS UF WE WERE EVER HUNGRY!)

we visited Cabo and Acapulco Mexico on the way down 

here Jim is watching engineering while we walk to the beach. We walked by the local fishermen bringing in their catch and stopped and watched an artist working on a large sand art work. We chatted with local students near the fort San Diego.

Local engineers  in Puerto Quetzal share with Jim most recent uses of energy near coal shipping
my favorite part of the whole cruise was going to the Panama temple, We were there on a Sunday and got to go to church and share our love of the Gospel and the blessings of learning from each other all around the world. The story behind this photo is, the person that took our photo said, "loosen up" and so I did! I  was so happy to be there.
