panama

Hey guys,i miss u all soooooooooo much! As you all know were in panama city,we will be leaving on the 26th or 27th of febuary and heading to the island of bocas del toro.We have had soooooooo much fun here in panama city and have learned aton about the canal,went horseback riding,visited the gamboa resort,went to a AWSOME waterfall,visited a embera village and SO much more! For me the horse backriding was definatly the most exciting.

THE CANAL,
There are three sets of locks on the panama canal and we had the pleasure to watch the miraflores locks lower and higher,the miraflores locks are the first set of locks and are located next to the miraflores mueseum.This is were we were able to watch them open and close the locks! When we got there we went straight out to the viewing deck and were lucky we did cause there was a ship in both lanes one was exiting the canal and one entering,the gate was closed for the ship that was entering and we watched the water leval higher and then the ship pass through.After that we went to the mueseum and got loded with info about the canal,(im gonna share some with you later but my jornel is locked in the landury room so i cant right now) later we were able to see a cruise ship coming down the canal.It was pretty cool!


FISHING TRIP,
Okay since im vegitarian and wouldent fish this trip was slow and kinda boring for me.But I really enjoyed monkey island were we set bananas on the front of the boat and the monkeys came and took them!Also we got to ride down the canal wich is illigal but are boat driver felt bad that we haden't caught much so he took us right down the canal and right next to a ship!


WATER FALL,
awsome! i had so much fun swiming in the water fall and exploring around it!


EMBERA VILLAGE,
As we arrived sevral of the village members greeted us and lead us to the presentation-resturand area.We were seated and the guy started passing stuff around and talking.Then we were surved are lunch i decided id pass im not gonna mention what it was but i just decided id live with out it.Once we were all done eating they took us to there dance hut and im sure my mom will give you a better desripcion on this. But they started dancing and asking for partners my mom dad and treava danced but me, noelle, kenna and jamie decided to um just watch!

HORSEBACK RIDING,
oh my gosh it was sooooooooooo much fun! On the way up we went through the woods through rivers through mud and much more.On the way back I had a totel blast as soon as we were on the road my horse took off so fast and she stayed that fast for awile(she even made me lose my pony tail holder!)Once the first sight of the gravel road could be seen I was swept away soooooooooooo fast and she wouldent stop!We trotted for about well 15 minutes non stop and I was ready for a break but she wanted more!So off we went agin intil I turend her around and made her stop after 1 or 2 minutes of walking we were both ready to run agin so we trotted and galloped for quite awile intill she must have been really tired so I got off and walked her. After a few minutes she was ready to go agin so I was on agin,mine definatly liked the lead anytime anyother horse came up he would start galloping so he was always in the lead except for once when kenna and me were kinda well not really racing but are horses were and she was infront for a cople minutes,it wasen't that mine was faster or anything just most eger to get back I guess.
