We went through part of the Panama Canal today-into Lake Gatun then back out to the Caribbean after a few hours-It is unbelievable-the ships have barely a foot or two on either side -Here are a few pics-we have lots more of the process of going through the locks-Evan and I stayed on board to watch it all -Here are a few other pics too!
A Cartahenga Fruit lady-they wanted to charge you to take a picture with them.
The giant doors of one of the locks with the stern of the ship visible. We either ascended or descended 85 feet in three locks, depending on what direction we were going.
Traveling through one lock.
Lock doors opening or closing-cannot remember which. That is the stern of the ship-probably they are closing. The doors are HUGE!
Displaying our LOSING bingo cards! But it was fun.
