I am linking up with Scenic Sunday
I have some more photos from our first full day of touring Panama City. The tour included stops at the San Jose Church in Panama known for its famous gold alter.
After leaving the church in Panama City we headed to the Miraflores Lock and the canal. We were able to stay long enough to see some ships make their way to the lock and to enjoy the exhibits at the visitor center.

The church is use to visitors stopping in to see the gold alter. We arrived in time for the mass and the singing of a pretty hymn. It is a lovely church located down a small cobblestone city street.
One of the few murals painted on the buildings near the church.

ReplyDeleteIt always astounds me the frivolity in religious places what with gold etc....but on the other hand there is also so much beauty in old Churches. Loved your tour. Eileen.

I've heard that the Panama Canal cruise is a wonderful trip. Your photos give me the first glimpse of what a person might see. It looks like a fascinating place to see. Thanks for stopping by again Eileen.
ReplyDeleteThese are nice photos and movies. Some of the images make me think of model villages, specially the little red roofed huts on the banks of the Panama canal. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine wants to visit this area. Thanks so much for the sneak peak!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Thanks for taking us along. What a magnificent altar! I will have to go there someday! What an amazing adventure.

Thank you for taking time to comment on my post and am glad you liked my whale of a cloud. I can't believe that the first thing I read is on Panama! Oh my goodness. Panama and Ireland are on our list (as soon as I retire). I am now looking forward to Panama more than ever! Now I must go look at the birds you saw.

ReplyDeleteGoodness it is expanding at quite a rate with the number of high rises going up isn't it!

ReplyDeleteThat pic at Casco Viejo is the same one I took of the woman on the wall!!! It was one of my favorites! The Canal was fun and a very interesting place. I didn't think it was going to be, but it turned out to be a highlight....and there was air conditioning:)
