Panama/Costa Rica, June 2006

 

My GAP tour group: Adam, Nicola, Andrea, Roppar, Jane, Nancy, and me.

At the Miraflores Locks on the Panama Canal.

The locks operate and everything.

Panama City has a suprisingly large number of high rises.

At El Valle. I loved the atmospherics.

Mantequilla, the horse I rented for an hour.

Our guide, Juan, shows us the petroglyphs.

At the high point of the India Dormida hike.

A sloth on the ground! (They leave the trees once a week to poop.)

The bike was in the way, so he crawled over it.
