Glorious Gamboa Monday


It's gorgeous in Gamboa now--trees beginning to bloom, lush greens, hot and humid but not outlandishly so--and cicadas loudly strumming away.




First stop--the swimming pool at the Gamboa Rainforest Resort (just up the hill from Rachel and David's house).





Swimming under the rainbow.








Happy parent portraits.





In the late afternoon, after nap/quiet time,
we packed snacks and a bottle of wine and headed to an ancient lighthouse overlooking the Panama Canal.




In the distance, one of the boats that is constantly dredging the canal.




Here are the beginnings of Simon's week-long total adoration
of his patient and very fun Auntie Jess.




And me, surrounded by tired, wiggly, delightful grandchildren.
