The trip back from Panama has not been as pleasant as the trip there. President Roosevelt describes their arrival to Panama and the “mass of luxuriant tropic jungle” that he calls “strange and beautiful.” Roosevelt was impressed by the crew’s progress on the canal. Roosevelt was busy all day with Dr. Presley Marion Rixey as his companion and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt by herself.
