Panama Canal

We just got back last Monday from our cruise to through the Panama Canal. It was a treat from Mark after my hard summer. We had a lovely time. It was good for me to just be able to focus on healing. Some highlights of Cartagena Columbia 
  
 
This is the same butterfly who spent time visiting with us
Zip line in Puntarenas Costa Rica  
 
  
I love just letting my self fly with my arms wide out
pretty soon other people were giving it a try 
 
All those little leaf pieces are being carried by the ants who chewed them off and they are taking them to their nest to make yummy fungus to eat.
This is a private beach, Los Caletas, in Puerto Vallarta.
              
           
   
 
Even though it was late in the season for whales we got to see 4 humpback whales
I will make a new post to put in some of my Panama Canal crossing pictures.
But finally this. 
 
The water is wide, I can-not cross o'er.
And neither have I wings to fly.
give me a boat that can carry two,
And both shall row, my love and I.

A ship there is and she sails the seas.
She's loaded deep, as deep can be;
But not as deep as the love I'm in
And I know not if I sink or swim.
When you have someone who loves you, the rowing through life is so much easier
Thank you to my best friend ever for being my best team member ever.

Fuzzy Wuzzy

One of my childhood rhymes. Some of you may remember.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy was he?

Now that my hair is supposed to be growing back, I am wondering what will happen.
Right now I think I may just end up looking like Albert Einstein.
That is because some of my hair that didn't fall out is very wispy.
And good news, at least I don't think I don't think I will be left like Fuzzy Wuzzy.

I began this entry just over a month ago. Being weeks out from the chemo that kills fast growing cells my hair is growing back. So my head is actually becoming a little Fuzzy.  It is a little strange, not all the hairlets as I call them are the same length. Interestingly I have noticed that the nap on my head is for the hair on top to stick straight up. A thing I probably would not have known except for this opportunity.
