June 17, 2013 | By Bill Gates<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Melinda and I recently took our kids on vacation to the Panama Canal. I know it\u2019s not exactly a typical vacation destination (and we did spend a few days at the beach afterward). But we had fun learning about how the canal was built \u2013 that in itself is an amazing story of ingenuity and hard work \u2013 and what it takes to keep things running smoothly today. In the\u00a0video above, I share a few pictures and describe what we saw.\u00a0 Click on the picture above for the video and be patient for it to load.
