Cruise throught Panama Canal

Photo of the sister ship Celebrity Infinity as we pass going through the Panama Canal.























Ships passing under the Continental Bridge at the continental divide. The hill on the left is called Gold Mountain (although there was no gold found there) and the hill on the right is Contract Mt.










Here we are as the ship is passing under the Bridge of the Americas. The highway that passes over this bridge takes you from Canada down to the tip of South America.
While the original Panama City (1510) fell victim to pirates and fire in 1671, the current Panamanian capital, founded in 1673 by French colonists, remains a huge draw for its Vasce Viejo or Old Quarter, home to a variety of architecture and spectacular ocean views.Posted by Picasa
