Anton Valle was a nice place!  We stayed in a big house with an indoor pool and there were some dogs and horses.  A couple of the dogs loved to play fetch.  One dog was obsessed.

We were there a week and kept busy doing schoolwork, ​cooking and visiting a waterfall.

After Anton Valle we drove to a place near Panama City.  We stayed at the Gamboa Rainforest.  It wasn't really a rainforest like they had in Costa Rica.  It didn't feel as natural.  There was a crazy, long, old, falling apart one way bridge we had to cross to get to and from the hotel.  It did have a traffic light otherwise it would have been too dangerous.

​Our main objective was to visit the Panama Canal so we could see how it worked.  We watched a 3D movie about it and visited the museum and information center.  There was a restaurant there, which had a really good buffet, where you could eat and watch the boats travel through a series of locks.  Unfortunately, when we were there for lunch it was when the boat traffic changed direction.  In the morning the ships go from the Pacific to the Atlantic and then in the afternoon they switch.  There is a gap in the middle of the day when no boats come through.  So we decided to come back the next night and have dinner there.  It was really amazing to see how the locks worked.  The ships were very tall and barely fit through the canal.  There are trains they call mules which push and pull the ships through the locks.

We are back home and I'm extremely happy to be home with my friends, my dogs, my bed, my house and, of course, my lizard!
