PaddleBall in Panama

We went through the Panama Canal today. I woke up late this morning and was very confused when the ship was surrounded by land on both sides. It took me about 45 seconds to understand what was happening in my life.

It costs a quarter of a mil to cross through the Panama Canal. Daniel…if you’re reading this…I think I found our next canoe adventure.
