Our fourth stop was the Panama Canal. I somehow thought it would be a cement ditch, but it’s not. Maybe the rest of you already knew that? It’s a series of locks connecting lakes. Some of the lakes are man-made. There was a big river running through the middle of the path the canal was supposed to take. They realized they could dam that river, create a lake that could hold water for the locks, and also generate electricity at the dam.
This is our ship heading for the canal, which is that black walled area toward the left.
