Saturday August, 16
This was the perfect birthday weekend. It was just what I needed. After waking up around 9, my Argentinian Carlito made us some pancakes. In our hostel, they say it includes a "pancake breakfast," but they don't mention that you have to make it yourself. We were in the kitchen and I told him he looked like an expert and asked if he could make me one and our new friendship blossomed.
Off we went taking one bus to another hopping on and making jokes. On the way to Panama Canal, there was the cutest boy making faces and Mary and I. We just kept playing jokes with him and he loved the attention.
When you enter the Panama Canal, you go through an average size line for tickets, which cost $18. While standing in line, we met some supercool beautiful girls from Dominican Republic. One of them worked for Pepsi events and the other was a massage therapy student.
We decide to stick together since we get along so well. There is a museum, exhibits, a movie, and of course the ships coming in. They pretty much come every 15 minutes. Right when we came in, the staff told us a ship was coming. We ran upstairs and crowded behind everyone else with our eyes set on the red boat. It's pretty amazing to see the ship in front of you and to see the gates open up. It takes about 20 minutes to pass through-possibly a bit more. When the ship passes by, I am doing my Miss. America waive.
With the group having me, we were bound to need more time in the museum and we ended up losing the Dominican girls. This was disappointing because I did not get there contact information.
After a few hours there, we ended up leaving where we saw the little boy from the bus. I was chasing him around and he became aggressive and hit me. His mother made him apologize and he did, which was respectful and nice. I knew he was just playing, but his mom took control over the situation-good Mom.
The best part of going to the Panama Canal was the face that it was the week of the 100th anniversary. It was just two days ago and they had a gigantic celebration. They had all the signs up and the blue and white balloons. It felt like it was a special anniversary and birthday time just for me. How did they know I was coming?
This was pretty exciting to come at that time.

We sat down had breakfast together(delicious pancakes) and he introduced me to his friend Hugo and Mary. They were a fresh one month couple in love and there as the single Carlito. They all met a few months ago in Belize. They have been traveling ever since together with plans to move their stuff over to Brazil by boat. It all sounded quite complicated, but they were leaving in a few days. They stayed around enough time for me to meet them. They asked if I would like to see the Panama Canal with them and of course I said "Yes."

Regardless, those on the ship are waiving at us. While I was thinking, I may not be interested in all this-totally false. Fascinating fun.
I ended up enjoying it with the museum being my favorite. It was full of history and interesting facts. There was also a live boat on some video program. You could steer the boat and act as a captain, which I did. With Carlito sitting next to me I was telling him how to turn and where we were headed. "It seems like these winds are strong so we should raise the harness." 'I was just making people laugh and it was successful.
