Visited the panama canal today. Truly is one of modern engineering's great successes. The fact that that the locks are nearly 100 years old and still going strong are testament enough. Whichever Frenchman decided it was feasible to just go and cut a river between the North and South America was clearly crazy. Its something I would try to do, but that's why I don't have the power to attempt things like this. Anyway I got to see one big boat then a few small boats cruise their way through the Miraflores Locks and I probably shouldn't have enjoyed myself as much as I did, as there really wasn't too much there. I also happen to be way to excited for my 10 hour bus ride tonight as I am leaving for Bocas Del Toro at 9. Nothing like a good 10 hour overnight bus ride to make you feel alive.
Oh, and in news back home what happened in the Illinois vs. UIC game? Such a disappointment. I've decided to start drinking more Orange Crush to improve Illinois karma.
Ciao
