I lived in Panama for 4 years. When I read the Path Between the Seas I was aghast at all the suffering. The notes from the journals of the French surveyors were beyond imagination.

I did my boy scout days there, camping at Camp Chagres on Gatun Lake. The wildlife posed tremendous problems. I heard that two kids were killed by Fer-de-lance bites on one summer....after I left.

I never lived in Panama....that must have been quite an experience. I sailed through the canal about 4 times while in the Merchant Marine. I will never forget that experience.
