That connects North and South America?

Yes it does bruce. It is part of the Pan-American Highway and was for awhile the only permanent bridge across the canal effectively linking North and South America. Before it's construction ferries and a swinging bridge that had to open for ever ship were relied on for ground traffic.

As promised here is a snippet of the 400+ photos I took:

Typical street on the city outskirts

Public transportation

Every building was fenced or walled and topped with barbed wire

Local kids at school

Building a large shelter that will house a twice a week feeding program for impoverished local kids

Stray dogs were everywhere

Ships waiting to go through the canal

The Miraflores Lock of the canal

The bell tower and some ruins of Old Panama

A part of the city skyline
