The Panama Locks. MiraFlores.

It was a day for visiting the Panama Locks today. A standard walk through the musuem. A bunch of numbers that amaze you but eventually forget. Pictures taken but not ever returned to.

Seing the canal was amazing. It is and still is a modern achievement in engineering.

If there was anything that did floor me it was about how the canal works. The canal is built over land, so it is kinda of like a bridge. The adjacent lands were flooded to allow water to flow in between the two oceans.

.I learned that there are 7 locks.
.That the highest fare for a ship was paid yesterday to a ship and it cost 250,000 to travel through the locks.
.also the water is transfered through gravity and not by pumps in between the locks
