After a long week at school, Josey was ready for the weekend. After an even longer week stuck in boring, passport-demanding Houston, Sutton was even more ready to begin her Spanish immersion experience. On Saturday, we booked a trip to Isla de Monos to see the capuchin monkeys and titis (another type of monkey, to clarify). We met our tour guide, Aldo, and drove to the opposite side of Panama City. Here, we boarded a not-sketchy-at-all boat to ride around Gatun Lake, which is part of the Panama canal. It was rather intimidating to drive by three hundred foot long cargo ships, but we trusted our driver. When we arrived at the first island, the monkeys were a little shy. Nevertheless, Aldo showed off his impressive monkey-speaking skills and coaxed them to our boat with peanuts and bananas. After a few hours of admiring the monkeys and feeding them a nutritious breakfast, we headed to Parque Nacional Soberenía. There, we took a short hike down a trail surrounded by Panamanian rainfor
