M waving at the couple on the last room to the right of the 1st row from the bottow. They are waving back! And look how the cruise ship just barely fits through the canal - expansion works are currently in progress because these ships keep on getting bigger and bigger!
Monkeys at the zoo
Let's not kid ourselves. The sole purpose of our trip to Panama was for Nico to see the canal and how it works. We saw that the first day we were there and practically had not much to do afterwards. We took the boys to the zoo, but hey, our lives with them is basically a zoo, we got some good supermarket shopping done (there was milk on the shelves!!!! and not just one obscure brand from Libya!!!) and breathed some safer air. But perhaps the sweetest part of our trip was seeing some old friends and meeting their 5 day old baby!! Precious. This couple also has a 5 year old so the boys were super excited to play with him. We had dinner at their place and didn't get back to the hotel until about 1am! Our two monkeys had a hard time waking up early the next morning!!!
The other highlight was celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary. Since I wasn't about to leave my boys with a strange babysitter, we took them out for dinner. I'm proud to say that at their very young age, they behaved excellent and enjoyed every bite of the vibrantly composed 12 course meal! YUP!!! They sat and behaved and licked their little fingers for two hours!! Mind you, we lugged a suitcase (small) full of toys and worksheets to keep them entertained, but hey, whatever does the trick.
One major improvement on the trip: Santi didn't lock himself in the hotel room!!
