the canal zone, a strip of land extending 5 miles on either side of the canal, is least to the united states, and is administered from the canal zones, balboa ah, a. my great grandfather on my mother's side came to panama in the early 20th century. he was one of the 10s of thousands of black men who came from across the caribbean, looking for work in panama, in places like the canal or the railroad. a balloon is a beautiful province rich province in so many ways, culture, you're rich, it's also a port for the panama canal. ah,
