“It will be wonderful to have them.
It was too.”
Ernest Hemingway, “Islands in the Stream”
Ten days in Panama City passed in a moment. There was everything.
Tears of expectation at the airport.
Joy of the meeting.
The first delight at seeing the Pacific Ocean.
Joyful shopping.
And walking around Panama City.
Treacherous crossing.
And a quick pelican.
The Panama Canal.
And a lake in the jungle.
Beaches.
And national parks.
Crocodiles.
Monkeys.
Tropical fruit.
We were diving.
And fishing.
Sitting by the Pacific.
And feeding pelicans.
They were on their own.
With each other.
There were girls.
And there were boys.
