We saw many animals lurking in the jungle beside the canal, like this iguana.
A little kid who lived by the canal caught a baby alligator for a pet.
After the canal trip we were on the way to the zipline tour when Juan discovered a flat tire on his van. JB offered to help change it, but I don't think they had a spare. Instead Juan found a repair shop along Limon's dusty, rocky, bumpy, pot-holed roads. A guy there patched the tire and we were on our way. Watching him work made us laugh. They would never let you get away with a patch like that in the States! But with those roads, patching tires over and over is completley acceptable.After the zipline, Juan drove us past the Dole and Del Monte pineapple and banana plantations and took us back to the ship.
We made it back in plenty of time to eat, nap, call the boys, and eat some more. What a day!

There's just something about being a mom, that just makes you want to leave your life jacket on and avoid swinging from the trees. Looks like you had so much fun - I'm so jealous.
Ahh, it all looks so amazing and fun. I'm so proud of you that even though you were nervous about some of it you did it anyway. What a memorable trip it is! Thanks for the pictures of the canal, it looked awesome and reminded me (though much larger) of the locks on the Erie canal the saints came through when they went to Kirtland. Pretty cool to see it on such a big scale.
