Friday, March 30, was our second day of land excursions.  Our chosen tour was the Panama City Experience, which took us to Panama City and the Miraflores Locks the day before we were to pass through the three locks to the Pacific Ocean.

It was an overcast day as we took the bus through the countryside to Panama City.  Photo stops were made and we saw the Trump Tower and downtown high rise buildings.  We then visited a small museum that showed artifacts from the canal's construction - and a craft mall.  The applique needlework they do is excellent - although it would be nice if they left larger seam allowances and better quality fabric.

Then it was on to the Miraflores Locks where we watched several ships pass through.  That would be us the following day!  We ran into quite a few other cruise passengers as well who were on different tours.
