Our third and final port, as well as the impetus for our trip, was the
Panama Canal. Before he retired, my grandfather was a civil engineer for the city of Los Angeles and had always wanted to see the canal in person. The trip began aboard a boat in Panama City and continued under the
Bridge of the Americas.
We passed through two sets of locks, including the
Miraflores (note the yacht on the other side).
After travelling through the second set of locks, we passed under the
Centennial Bridge.
All in all, we saw a little under half the length of the canal, a trip that took about four hours.
