Monkey Island

 

On Sunday we took a boat up the Panama Canal to Monkey Island--

 

 

 

exciting to be motoring on the Canal past the dredging boats that are widening and deepening the Canal

 

and past large cargo ships.

 

 

 

 

 Snack en route.

 

 

 

We pulled up to shore right under the trees and the monkeys came to us.

 

 

 

This is a gentle Geoffrey Tamarin, very sweet, but others were much more aggressive, leaping on the boat, trying to come after what we had in our hands, nerve-wracking!  Didn't get photos of them, too busy ducking.

 

 

 

Thoughtful faces,

 

 happy faces,

 

 

 

and conversations

on the return trip.
