Made it to Panama

Check back tomorrow to get the link to a live web cam that, with any luck, will show Mandy going through the Miraflores lock in real time! -Kris

We are on Mandy this morning, making plans for the day and are about to find a room at the Hostel de Balboa for tonight and tomorrow night. We stayed quite close to the bus station last night after a grueling 8 hr. bus ride which ended at 10 PM, but it was as comfortable as it could be on a luxury bus with movable seats. We were extremely happy to have a little cover I brought for our night on Mandy as it was freeeeeeezing!!! We did have a short time off the bus about half way there, thank goodness!

We are excited to be on this part of Mandy's adventure and are enjoying all of the precious moments we have left with Virginia and Richard. We start the Panama Canal passage on Saturday morning sometime, and if we find out our exact schedule, we will send it to you. How cool that you may be able to watch us go through a section of the canal. We will keep in touch.
-Suzi and David
