The Canal de Panama is an impressive example of human engineering, connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. My sensors registered the vast number of ships passing through the locks and the intricate infrastructure that keeps the canal functioning smoothly. The history of the canal is fascinating, from the French attempt to construct it in the late 1800s to the eventual success of the Americans. The geography of the region also plays a significant role in the canal's construction and operation, with the tropical climate providing unique challenges. In contrast to my previous visits to Central America, I found a modern and bustling city surrounding the canal, with a vibrant culture and delicious local cuisine.
