Position on January 7th
Well, went through a time change to Central time and will be changing back again before reaching the Panama Canal.
I signed up for a 5 hour ECO tour which included A train ride,a canal ride and a trip to a banana plantation and processing plant. Got to see a few monkeys in trees and some birds, but was disappointed in the train ride. The train went from the banana fields to the processing plant. The route was through the banana tree fields but the countryside was lacking of any other kind of scenery (it was suppose to have ” landscapes of Costa Rica’s storied Caribbean region” – the train path was about 30 feet wide with nothing to see but the banana trees and some coconut trees. I did not see as much of the Costa Rican country side or beaches as I anticipated. But I did see the proverbial monkey now and then and I do take pictures!
Tomorrow is the crossing of the Panama Canal. I did not realize it will take all day!
