This gallery shows pictures we took vacationing on a National Geographic/Linblad
cruise in January 2012. The cruise was aboard the NG Sea Lion, a small ship holding about 100
passengers. We cruised along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, visiting the Manuel Antonio National Park,
the Corcovada National Park, Golfo Dulce, and sailed in Panamanian waters before passing through the
Panama Canal and spending a night on Gatun Lake, visitng the Barro Colorado Research Institute
before completing the Canal transit, ending in Colon.
