Panama Canal pics - Jan 30, 2008

I'm slowly but surely uploading some pictures on my flickr account. The internet speed here is decent, but not excellent, so uploading is pretty slow.

I just wanted to share some pictures from my visit to the Panama Canal on Jan 30th. It was a pretty adventurous way of getting there, but I did make it on the public buses and by foot. Needless to say, I was the only tourist going to the canal this way. Everyone else whizzed by me on their mega tour buses as I walked my way to the canal. But I like it that way. I met a really nice security guard who showed me the way to go.
