Sending Panama Canal Postcard Greetings is a joy, especially as this week celebrates my 11th-year blog anniversary.

One of my dreams has been to visit the Panama Canal and yesterday was fantastic getting to visit while our cruise ship was in port!

One of the highlights was riding the train, since 1855, and the route included taking us from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific ocean, with us then resuming taking the tour bus on the trip and returning to Colon.

I will have more in my next post, but for now, I wanted to share how wonderful it was to get to include this in the trip, and that the weather cooperated.

Here’s to hoping this finds you well and enjoying the new year. It is hard to believe that tomorrow marks the beginning of March!

Thank you for continuing to be on this blog journey with me as we head into another year celebrating letter writing. See you back here next month! In the meantime, cheering for you!

Anchors Aweigh,

Helen
