The Panama Canal....

The Panama Canal is over fifty kilometers long, and was built in yada, yada, yada... Now imagaine that repeated over and over again in Spanish and English while you sit on a tall platform and watch ships SLOWLY go by. And thats pretty much it really, definately not work the $5 entrance fee to Mirador Locks visitor center. But luckily Pete and I snuck in and did not have to pay the fee anyway, ya I know we are ridiculously cheap. All in all though I was not that impressed. I do think it is interested though, the history behind the Panama Canal and how the US funded Panama's seperation from Colombia in order the instigate the construction of the Canal, talk about meddling. Ok going to enjoy the last little bit of Central America, we fly out in ten hours to Cartagena, Colombia!
