Oddities of Vita SI BEM in the Panama Canal era
A humorous, vividly odd portrait of Panama during the canal era, detailing quirky incidents and colonial attitudes. It covers a mock bureaucratic mix up with riding boots, a colonists’ hotel setback, Italian migrants, the Morro de Bocas land deal, canal water and sanitation fines, and local curiosities like a souvenir shop near Old Panama.
