We woke up super early like at 4:30am to catch the sunrise, while going to Amador, the night sky was super dark, with barely any cars, the only thing that kept the streets alive were the recently installed LED powered street lights..

By the time we arrived to our destination, the sky was lighter, with a tint of blue from the newly hatched sun.

We drove for a long 5 to 10 minutes to find a proper place to park the car, and take amazing pictures.

Later, we found it! A perfect location to wait 'till the sun peaked.

As were snapping away, I noticed that some guy was taking pictures too, but trespassed the "safe" zone

Later, the guard came to the rescue and told him to stay back.

Luckily, the dude did what he was asked to do.

The breeze was breezy, and the waves were as calm as the dead sea.

The sun had already peaked through the horizon, just that today it was pretty cloudy, so the sun's ball came out a bit later.

6:40am, the magic started to happen..

"Look at the sun! It's visible now!" my parents pointed out.

They were right, the sun was a bright and with happy orange, looks like it managed to pierce itself through the clouds.

Without hesitation, we took tons of pictures..

After the sun had risen completely, we drove around the area to take more photos!

This big plaza over here, is like a place to wait in order to ride on a boat, like a terminal.

It has "duty free" things to buy while you wait.

These "plazas" over here, including some pics of the terminal, are restaurants to eat in.

I've never eaten in these restaurants, probably because they cost like a hole in the wallet.

Anyways, as we joyride through the area, there were many people jogging near the pathways that were close to the sea, and a bunch of serious cyclists.

The pink sky and yellow and bright sun made a fascinating combo!

Did you know that during the digging of the Canal, they had to find a way to dispose of tons and tons of excavated material or rubble, so they decided to use all this rubble to connect an island with the city.

Which is where I was standing and snapping pictures that day.

Yes, back then, the side walk didn't exist, and with time, it got wider as there was more rubble to dispose of from the recent widening of the Canal passage!

We parked the car in an empty parking lot, and stood on the side walk to take close up pictures of the sea and rocks!

What are you looking at? Rocks are pretty too!

Upon leaving, we drove near the "Bio Museum", it's where they tell you all about the existing species of animals in this country.

But you'll have to pay to visit it!
