The next morning I slept in until 8:00 before going down to eat breakfast at the hotel restaurant. We were then picked up. Benny (our tour guide) explained to us some history of panama city before we stopped at the panama canal monument. We then stopped by the docks so we could take pictures with the Panama sign. We then decided to stop at a cathedral where we looked around before going off to explore the city. My mom and I split from the rest of the group and went to a different cathedral before going to the gazebo in front of it. We then started walking towards the water and went to a market place by the waterside. We walked back towards the cathedral and met with the rest of the group before driving to the restaurant. We got on the bus and drove to the panama canal where we watched a movie about how the panama canal was built, then we explored the canal museum. I was dropped back off at the hotel and napped for a while before getting up to go shopping before we left for saboga.
The Community School of Naples Middle School is off on an adventure to Central America. This service-learning trip is a passion project for Jimmi Stevens, Spanish teacher and Conservation Club sponsor. Participants will teach English on the remote island of Saboga, Panama. They will also volunteer in the community. Travelers will enjoy whale-watching, swimming, snorkeling and hiking. In Panama City they will tour the Panama Canal and the beautiful, antique neighborhood of Casco Viejo.
