Panama City-Panama Canal-Quito-Bogota


...Panama City...
...Panama Canal 80km long...15,000 ships pass through here each year earning over ONE BILLION DOLLARS in revenue for PANAMA-will be widen soon to accomodate huge container ships at a cost of 10 billions US...ships pay according to weight and cargo carried...
...3 sets of LOCK system that allow ships to cross from PACIFIC to ATLANTIC and vice versa....over 22,000 people died building this canal from all sorts ...canal areas are surrounded by real PANAMANIAN jungles...
...US handed PANAMA CANAL to PANAMA only 10 years ago...
...had a good day watching GIANT ships going through the locks....
...QUITO CITY-ECAUDOR... ...BOGOTA-COLOMBIA-we loved traveling through COLOMBIA...
