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 was such a special day, because I got to spend it with a great family I have come to adore! Stacy the ship's spa manager and I became good friends, from our first meeting! We have had so many laughs and long chats over my numerous appointments, I love my spa time! I've been lucky enough to meet her sweet sister Sharon and her boys Dylan and Ryan , when they visited the ship last November and today I got to meet Linley , Sharon's hubby and their Dad, Roland , who is visiting from Mauritius . We got together at their home in the southeast suburbs of Melbourne, for a special feast to celebrate Linley's Birthday and this mini family reunion, since we were in Melbourne.
Melbourne is great, I'm so glad we got more time here. Bosco planned a fun night of exploring for us! We took the tram into the CBD, and got off at the Yarra River Promenade , just as the sun was setting.
Happy St. Patty's Day All!
