Panama- Panama Canal and Gamboa Rainforest

First stop is the butterfly sanctuary, then frog sanctuary and finally the slothes. The beautiful monarch and owls eye butterflies were nice to learn about.

The Panama Canal, I didn't think I would be interested, but since I was here, I had to go. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a lot more interesting than I thought. Watching the system guide those huge ships through the canal was very interesting. I have pictures and video's below. The small boat practically disappears. Check it out.

Above replicas of the ships that pass through the locks daily.
