PANAMA CANAL We foundin Panama, that Spanish is the prevailing language. We also found that Panama in itself produces very little, and that nearly all the items stocked by the many shops are imported from all over the World. Here it is possible to find nearly any article from any country that you may desire. In the Canal Zone especially, you might say that they go all out for the tourist trade. Making our stop on the Balboa side of the Canal, we were able to visit both Balboa and Panama City. Balboa is the American sector and lies on the outskirts of Panama City. Among the many old landmarks that remain around the city, one of the most outstanding is the Church of the Golden Altar. The Altar itself reaches from the floor to the ceiling and is covered with solid gold leaf. In the more modern line we found the El Panama Hotel, one of the most modern buildings in the World. In that very torrid climate it is remarkably well air conditioned principally by architectural designg and for all who visited it, the temperature was found most inviting. -10-
