| Quick trip to Panama City, Panama yesterday to be followed by a 1-nt cruise to Colombia. Posting several pictures below to give you an idea about this interesting city & country. |
 |
| After about a 3 hour flight from Miami, we caught sight of land as Panama finally arrived. As you likely know, the isthmus of Panama is the narrowest piece of land in the Americas which is why it was selected to be the location of the canal connecting the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean. Last water view on the Atlantic (Caribbean) side. |
 |
| And just a few minutes later, the Pacific Ocean (on the far right) arrived. Interesting fact: while the Atlantic Ocean is east of Panama and the Pacific Ocean is west of Panama, ships traveling through the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific actually travel mostly eastbound because of the curvature of the isthmus! |
 |
| On final approach to PTY, a view of the Pacific entrance/exit of the Panama Canal and the Bridge of the Americas which carries the Pan American Highway over it. |
 |
| And a nice view of downtown Panama City before landing. |
