Fish and Monkeys!

So yesterday we headed out to Gamboa Resort to have some fun in the wonderful Panama Rain Forest! It was all set up by the folks we are working with here and they went above and beyond! We started with some fishing in the Gatun Lake (which is the man made lake from the building of the canal and connects the two sides). Two of the ladies on our team have never been fishing, so we had a lot of fun with that! And I caught 6 fish! Ralena one of the first timers caught 13!!! Crazy!


We then headed over to Monkey Island to check out the local monkeys where we learned South American Monkeys have tails when African Monkeys tend not too. They jumped on our boats scared us a bit but once we got through it I fed one of the monkeys! There is a short video at the bottom!


We were then supposed to head to a canopy tour of the rain forest but since it is the rainy season it started to pour on us! And rained for the rest of the day so we just had a wonderful brunch and headed back to the hotel. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we get back and can do the tour. So here are a bunch more pics...

Sondra, Michael and Kristin "Flashy" Us as the Cruise Boat did, I forgot to mention in the other post it was a Sr. Citzen tour so the ladies who flased were at least 70 yrs old... Wade stated he never thought someone could wear more clothing when they lifted their shirt!
