Columbia South America

In May of 2008 I tooka trip with my Dad that was going through the Panama Canal.  We stopped in Columbia, South America.  I got off the ship, but did not go on any tours.  My husband was concerned for my safety.  I did however get off the ship and walked around the visitor center.

This was the first time I had seen an Iguana in the wild.  

This guy was kind enough to stick around to let me take pictures.

We were naturally by the water, and there was a lot of brown pelicans hanging around.



Also, in the visitors center there were a few exotic birds.


The colorful Tucan.  

The pelican's were fun to watch diving for their meal.
This guy was so nice to pose for me.  I think it is one of the best I have taken!
