I took so many pictures, I decided to split them up. This is part 2 of our day crossing the Panama Canal. Be prepared for a picture overload, but it will give you an idea of what to expect to see as you traverse the Panama Canal on a cruise ship.

The third locks were the Miraflores locks.

In the Miraflores locks we passed to the Pacific Ocean port of Balboa in Panama City We passed under the Bridge of the Americas which is a road bridge in Panama which spans the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. It was a really long boring day. The first set of locks was exciting and then it just dragged on. After that I was actually pretty bored.

Except for watching the mules at all the locks.

We were through all the locks at 5pm. Pilots left the ship at 5:20pm when we were enjoying dinner.

Today’s product recommendations are for keeping your skin looking its best at sea and in the sun. My favorite skin care products are made by Elemis. Although I do sometimes try a new product here and there. I actually find myself going back to Elemis. 1) I start my morning in the shower with a face wash. Currently I am using ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash https://amzn.to/3qZkwqC 2) After showering I am currently using ELEMIS Superfood Facial Oil https://amzn.to/3XvfUVu 3) Then the Elemis Pro-Collagen Maine Cream with spf30 gets applied. It is the best. It costs a little more than the drug store creams but wow it works. Whenever I decide I want to buy another less expensive brand I am sorry and head right back to this cream. https://amzn.to/46sJZsH 4) Steve also uses an Elemis product. He tends to break out when he uses sunscreen often. He finds the ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads excellent to use. It cleans that sunscreen out of his pores. When he uses these pads to cleanse his face he does not break out. https://amzn.to/3px1oQn
