Heading towards the locks......

The whole reason for this trip, was to experience the Panama canal and traverse the locks. I remember as a young person reading about the canal and thinking "I'd like to see that". So here we are. It was worth the whole trip. It takes quite a while to go through. You get up at 5:30am to get a good spot to watch and it's sort of like a fairy tale. It's dark and the locks and the ships going through are all lit up. They have coffee and rolls for you and the whole atmosphere is party like. I don't remember the actual amount of time it took to go through, but it is hours.
