End of the Panama Canal
As we left the Calebra Cut, and headed to the 3rd set of locks, we approached a very tall bridge called the Bridge of the Americas.  It is possible to drive from Alaska all the way south to the tip of South America.  This bridge allows the route to continue across the Panama Canal.

You can’t really see how tall the bridge is in the above image.  However, in the image below, you can get an idea of how tall it is.  We were sitting on our balcony, looking up to the bridge.

Farewell to the Canal
We watched the last lock doors swinging shut on our trip thru history.  Amazing how smoothly things run on this over 100 year old piece of technology!
