... sea level, we are in Gatun Lake, continuing our Journey west (actually southeast, since the Canal runs from northwest-southeast). Another interesting fact is that if you stand on the Centre on Panama, you can actually see the sun rise over the Pacific Ocean and set over the Atlantic Ocean. Keep that for Trivial Pursuit.<br><br> <br><br>Passing through Gatun Lake, we see several large ships passing us, heading towards the Atlantic, or ...

... and headed out into the rain to share it while sitting under a mango tree and watching the water. The mangos would drop pèriodically, usually splitting upon impact, but Evan found one undamaged just as a man came by and taught us how to eat it "Monkey Style."

November 18th, I had a nice quite day today. The weather is warm with heavy clouds. I took a walk through the Elfin forest. Which I might add was quite a workout. The hills are very steep here and after an hour and half walk I was tired. There were numerous birds and butterflies.
