PANAMA CITY - Day 3 - SLOTHS!!!

We have been on a hunt for the best places to see Sloths, since we hit South America! They are just so dang cute and elusive! The Smithsonian Tropical Research Center was a quick ride from the Port and we had the morning to explore. It was stinking hot and humid but we persevered in the hunt and got lucky! 

They also had a butterfly garden that you walked through and lots of iguanas and frogs. A nice fun & relaxing, but hot, morning!

Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.

More FUN with the Elephants ! Washing this gentle creature was so special. The handlers at the Sanctuary are so informative and caring and took sooo many pictures for us!

MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
