This is a view of our ship in the harbor in Costa Rica last night. We were on our way back from an authentic local dinner with Lloyd and Suzanne. The place was recommended by our tour guide. The menu had everything under the sun. Carrie had Chicken and Rice which was delicious. The rest of us had 3 different fish dishes, all of which were good. I ordered a hearts of palm salad that was entree' size and although my fish was good the hearts of palm stole the show. We didn't have to be back on the ship till 9:30pm which allowed us plenty of time to enjoy the local beer and the Costa Rican company. We were the only tourists in the restaurant and everyone was extremely nice to us. The strange thing about being this close to the equator is that the sun come up almost exactly at 6:00am and sets at 6:00pm. And that's all year long! They only have 2 seasons, wet and dry. Otherwise the temperatures and the daylight hours never change. It might get monotonous after a while but not before one gets to list the over 900 species of birds seen in the country.

Tomorrow, Sunday, we pass through the Panama Canal. Our passage will be broadcast live at www.pancanal.com all day. Go to the wesite and see if you can spot us!
