We have arrived! We are in Panama City, it's hot, humid and home! This afternoon we played tourist and visited the Panama Canal. It's an incredible feat and amazing to watch the ships pass through the system of locks. Each ship pays about a quarter million dollars to pass through and almost 40 ships go through a day! They are making some good money!
Watching a ship go through
This is a map showing the route of the Panama Canal. It takes 8-10 hours to sail through.
This part of the city is Colonial--built in the 1600s--and the whole town looks like it's from Pirates of the Caribbean.
This alter is made of SOLID gold. It's like 20x30 feet!

ReplyDeleteHow fun for you guys? Did you ever find a place for church. By the way, I love your pants - where did you get those. They would be perfect here in this hot and humid weather.
