Have you seen street signs like these before?
Ahhh, a water fountain that has a bottle refill feature! This is at the Plaza in the Ciudad del Saber (City of Knowledge) where our school is located.
Beetles almost as big as bananas (guineo is banana down here)! The jungle allows our insect friends to grow mighty large.
The currency here is the Balboa, B/., or the US dollar as we know it.
In my Panama hat, it's nice to lend a hand down at the Canal.
The Ciudad del Saber used to be Clayton Fort when the US controlled the Canal. This gas pump is left over from those days and currently resides at a shuttle bus stop.
Down at the Miraflores Locks, which are the first locks from the Pacific Ocean, we saw some ships passing through.
Larger ships are guided through by a mulas, an electric locomotive, tethered to each end of the ship.
Enjoy this timelapse, taken from the 3rd floor of our school, of a couple of ships going through the Miraflores Locks.
