on a peak

We're sitting in an internet room in Ciudad David, on our way back to Panama City, where we'll do some canaling, and then it's off to the fascinating land of home. What a relaxing and beautiful two weeks it's been! And just yesterday we were at the top of the highest peak in Panama.

Which means, ladies and gentlemen, that we looked one way and saw the Atlantic Ocean, and looked the other and saw the Pacific. I've never felt dizzier, in every way, in my life.

But what does it say about me that my second thought, as I stood and looked over the seas and the forest of mountains with clouds rolling through them, was: "Boy, now I really have to read Chapman's Homer!"...?
