2-14-09 Happy Valentine's Day!



A great start to the day... my Valentine joined me for a morning walk! Our friend Sergio joined us...he spoke Spanish (one of his five languages - we still have a LONG way to go!) with the park ranger when we stopped at the entrance to the San Lorenzo Park. We had visited the fort at San Lorenzo when we took Infini into the Chagres River. The fort sits at the entrance on the bluff. We didn't want to walk the 10 miles by road this time. The road goes through undeveloped jungle (that's all there is for miles and miles around here)...so our eyes were peeled for anything that moves. We heard the howler monkeys before we saw them. The toucans were making a loud racket, and we watched them maneuver amongst the branches for awhile. The strange coati meandered across the road. The woodpeckers are huge and colorful down here...and the blue morph butterflies are still a favorite. I'm still hoping to see my first boa in the wild. We visited a beach called Playa anam Diablo,where Michael found one of our favorite sea beans in the heart shape....I put it in the middle of the pictures of other beach combing finds.
Our plan is to get some things done in Panama City early next week, then get back out on the anchor!
