While we were in Panama, Rick got to go fishing for peacock bass in the canal. Here is his big catch of the day. He had a really fun time fishing, with the beautiful scenic background, a siting of monkeys and even an alligator (and let’s not forget the nice sunburn to remember it by). We were advised not to leave the gated port area because of muggings, etc (unless you were on an excursion booked through the cruise–which is what Rick did). Some taxi drivers would supposedly take tourists across Panama on a tour, only to drop them off on the other side and make them pay double to come back. Since we were forewarned of this, Jenn stayed at the port and did some shopping there instead. She enjoyed most of the scenic view from the ship. :0)
