      Good factual account. We had been on a Panama Canal cruise. This would have meant more prior to the cruise. The Panama Canal is a complete marvel and miracle it was ever completed. As far as entertainment value, a little lacking compared to all the fan-fair and violence we are used to seeing. If I ever teach school again in an appropriate subject, I would love to show this.
