Its so quiet :knock:
I watched CBS all day , a few commercials but nothing new that I saw anyway , not even a pip during the College games .
The Dancing Lady & band maybe in the Historic part of the city ,Casco Viejo, the window style are similar to what you see ...
also I didn't know what these posts where ..and found these ..
VERY Long shot ...it caught my eye
Ancon Hill

So much for the bus theory , it looks like the Bransen or Godlewski girl ? Clue in hand ,i cant make out whos behind her ?

Thought that the opening shot of the plane taking off from New Oreleans (?????) looked funny; flying over the surf crashing on the beach which certainly was not Lake Pontchartrain which would be the case if the plane were indeed taking off from MSY; and it indeed is a takeoff of KLM 747 from LAX recycled from TAR 4.
Why?
If recorded takeoffs from MSY actually were for planes headed to BSE, it might be easy to spot the error, so just add any old takeoff from the file cabinet when the v.o. says "leaving the country."
Just curious.
Hard to figure out a timeline for the stay in Panama since it is not clear which event come where. Do they do the baseball gig before the trip up the canal from Panama City to the Barro Colorado Islands which are across the peninsula at Gamboa, Panama?
It may be that from wherever the teams arrive they first have to wait for an opening somewhere early the next morning (we seem to see almost all the teams bunched up somewhere at what looks like an early morning vista.)
I haven't been in Panama for 48 years and when I was there the Canal Zone was a world unto itself; now the canal is just part of the Republic of Panama.
ADDED OBSERVATION: NO MENTION OF 'LATEST FAMILY TO BE CASTAWAY' ON THE EARLY SHOW during promo this morning on CBS Sunday Morning. And I would think that it is now time for the first elimination. Otherwise we would be down to five teams, and we have a sighting of five teams in Monteal which would mean at least 3 NEL's in a row. And IF there is a NEL this week, I hope they come up with a new gimmick so that we don't have the Gaghan kids begging on the streets of Panama.

from Chateau's link
Drive along the Gaillard Highway passing Albrook and Clayton on your right and the Miraflores locks on your left.
Continue past the Pedro Miguel locks, past the community of Paraiso, past the Summit Golf Club and go under a small railroad bridge inscribed 1929.
Immediately after the underpass, turn left on to Gamboa Road.
Pass the entrance to the Summit Botanical Garden on your right.
After approximately 11 kilometers you will arrive at a single-lane bridge that crosses the river to Gamboa.
To STRI dock (follow the signs from the Gamboa bridge): After crossing the bridge, continue straight. Pass the former gas station and the ACP dock (Dredging Division) on your left, and the Gamboa Post Office and the colorful Santa Cruz houses on your right. Before this road turns to the right, take the sand road to the left to the STRI dock.
The trip takes about 40-45 minutes (without traffic jams). You can follow the Gamboa (Rainforest Resort) signs.

This looks to me like its along the canal ,that looks like cranes or a ship? maybe near one of the locks?
I watched the video again , when the gate opens they don't rush ..
and I don't see that the Weavers are standing on the pitstop mat..this picture is bugging me ! have we ever been shown a picture of a team at the pitstop ? let alone cheering before ? >^%
