Rain Gear Call to Action

Before heading off on my South American Adventure (yes, that was over 5 months ago) I purchased a simple raincoat in Florida because it was on sale and I had packed nothing like it. It has now been in the rainfly compartment of my pack for past 5 months and never used (neither has the rainfly on my bag). Today with the rainy weather I remember that it was still packed in the bag so it has emerged and will face its first test today.

The coat has been in 13 countries so far including the one I purchased it in and this is its first taste of the elements.

Shots from Panam

Yesterday I packed up and headed to the Panama Canal. It is the one thing that every good tourist must see when visiting so I made the trip via cheap buses.

Here is a shot from the Miraflores Locks leading into the Pacific Ocean.




I showed my friend Tom that I was from the USA



He showed me that he was from Australia
Then I notice that Australia had been invaded in the north by another country.

Needless to say I put in a call to the commissioner to remedy this international crisis. Hence, saving the day and manuevering a large cargo vessel at the same time.

Crystal Light here sounds more like an STD than a beverage. It might just be me, but doesn´t this sound a little odd.
