Well what can I say - Friday was an uneventful and lovely sea day. Beautiful day on the water. we also got a farewell from the crew as this was the last night for this leg of the cruise.
Today - Saturday we arrived in Colon, Panama. Sometimes called the city Panama forgot it's a working port that's not very attractive. After the Canal returned to Panamanian control the businesses and many of the residents of Colon abandoned the city in fear that things would change. Of course the act of leaving did indeed change Colon. Lot's of derelict buildings and an air of unkemptness and lots of garbage. We were docked in a working container. port - always fun watching the containers come and go and we visited the "Colon 2000" large ship terminal - although it was mostly closed because it was Saturday. Adrian did manage to pick up a bottle of run at the liquor store and was thrilled to be able to order a non-alcoholic punch, take it to our cabin and add some run. he was very proud of his accomplishment - he's on his way to becoming a seasoned cruiser.
