26 December 2021: Lima to Panama City


Off to a new country for us...Panama!  On the drive to the airport I got a few good pictures at beach level.  There are lots of exercise facilities, public art pieces, a BMX bike track and many many soccer fields.  We got to the airport with plenty of time to get through all the hoops.  We had to show our Panama Affidavit, our passports and flight information,  We took off and were amazed to see all the ships around the port in Lima.  But the ships waiting to pass through the canal at Panama city was something else.  Leslie counted 30 at one look out the window


Everybody having a ball!  Soccer or volly I am not sure


The BMX track.  The boxes are elevated starting gates and the moguls are off to the right


You can see the starting gates


Surfboard statue


It looks like this is a solid building but it is more like a giant sunshade


Strong man!


Lima looking every bit of a city of 10 million


And the soccer stadium


The coast with the most


Unloading at the port


A large island off the coast apparently unoccupied


Islands off the coast of Colombia


Ships lining up the the Panama Canal


Scattered hither and yon



Which one has my orders?


The old town of Panama has a highway passing around it


The entrance to the canal



Another Island underutilized
