| In El Valle I found a man selling plantains with a matching sling! |
We visited an Embara Village near the Gamboa Rainforest Resort; about two and a half hours from Gatun Lake by car and dugout canoe. It was a wonderful experience; a mostly sunny day despite the rainy season. An elder took us on a hike to show us plants used for medicine, women demonstrated their basket skills, and dozens of children played. A day later I slipped and fell while bird watching and fractured my right wrist. Blame it on a toucan!
