Locks of Miraflores

Here’s a quick shot of us going through the last set of locks in the Panama Canal today. If you zoom in you can see the black pixelated blob that represents the baseball cap I was wearing while hanging out on the observation deck. Poor Shannon was working in the library during this set of locks, so we can’t see her pixelated blob.

A big hearty thanks to Mary and Kelly for snagging this picture from the official Panama Canal webcams for us. You can check out a cool animation of our traversal of the locks over on their blog.
