Day at Sea before hitting the Panama Canal

Today, the boys are starting to feel the time away from home. Cooper is disgruntled, but no fever, so we are a bit more at ease about his health. Tommy is missing home, and asking for his "Fluffy", even coming to tears over his misery. He asked, "Do you think Rhonda has found him and is taking care of him?" We assured him that while Rhonda was at home she would surely be taking good care of his animal friends. He was definitely missing home. We tried to watch the show tonight, but Tommy only made it through half of it, and Cooper is having none of these shows. Today John and I just traded places with the boys all day, and it was again almost too hot to enjoy. Cooper is stuck like Velcro to "da-da" and that is very challenging for John, not to mention exhausting.
This afternoon, the Captain came over the public address system to tell us were were about 30 miles off the coast of Columbia. It's strange to be that close to another country, especially one with a less than savory reputation.
