Panama Canal & Costa Rica




Leaving a set of locks on Panama Canal













Towel decorations in stateroom-with Mary's pajamas















This is what morning glory is supposed to look like--flowers big and beautiful in the Costa Rica rain forest











Arial tram in the rain forest-Costa Rica















Another stateroom creation by our stateroom attendant














Leaving Gatun Locks in Panama Canal with another cruise ship and a cargo ship. These locks are the first set (of 3) as we enter the canal from the Caribbean Sea. It cost our ship $254,000 to pass through the canal--how about that for a toll!?











Panama City Temple from our ship













Panama City skyline from our ship as we leave the canal for the Pacific Ocean. It took about 9 hours to get through the canal.
