A walk along the Panama Canal

Today is Monday, I can walk! Tomorrow I will be confined to the docks, but today I am free to walk along the causeway at the entrance to the Panama Canal. Panama is still in lockdown and in the province containing Panama City women are allowed out to shop and exercise on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so let me show you some of the things I see along my path.

The Red Queen talking to Alice in Alice in Wonderland

It is amazing how quickly things can happen if you have some leverage. 
"Can I have my correct sail?"
"Well..."
"I'll give you your sail back if I can have a mine"
"Be right there"
