into the Pacific;

presidential palace. There are real herons in the compound.
the area immediately east of the Pacific entrance of the canal--known as
the Amador Causeway[7]-- is currently being developed as a major tourist
center. Currently the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute operates a
station and a small museum open to the public on Culebra Island, just
off the island of Naos (See inset). A new museum, The Bridge of Life
Museum, is currently under construction on the causeway. The Bridge of
Life Museum was designed by the American architect Frank Gehry famous
