Panama!

Here are a few photos from our awesome trip to Panama. It was really hot and sticky, but we still managed to have a fun time. Here's the view out of our hotel room, which gives you a pretty good idea of what Panama City looks like.
We went on a trip to Monkey Island, which was pretty cool, since the monkeys climbed right up into the boat (after being coaxed inside with mango slices). They pretty much surrounded our boat and yelled at us, so it was fun. We also saw crocodiles, lizards, parrots, sloths, and howler monkeys on our boat tour.
Here we are pretending to be staying at some fancy hotel in an area called Gamboa. It's really nice and gives you a good view of the rain forest.
Here we are at the recently opened Panama Temple. It is an awesome building.
And no photo montage of Panama would be complete without a shot of the canal. Behold it in all its glory! It may not look like much, but the Panamanians make bank off this thing. So that was our trip to Panama in short. It was lots of fun, but it's nice to be back home in the states.
