Those containers are gigantic and one does not get a full understanding of the scale till one gets within twenty yards of them. Fortunately, they were cruising along at less than 10 knots (speed limit in Panama Canal). Otherwise the wake from their moving would easily have toppled us.

The pilot drove his boat like he had stolen it!!

Will take one those boats thru Panama Canal. Not exactly confidence arousing. I have seen those humongous ships in the Canal the other day!!

This one was sitting in the middle of the road. Cars stopped and shooed it to the side. I did not know that there are anteaters in this part of the world.

Also this marks the 7th country that I have the Pan American Highway on. (Chile, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and the USA).

This is the entry point into the Panama Canal from the Pacific side.
