El Prado Balboa, Canal Zone

Sharon De Vore Gonzalez's Facebook profileAt the other end of the Prado you see the Administration Building, where the Panama Canal and Canal Zone were Administratively run. It is where my Dad, Uncle and cousin worked and where I had my very first job the summer between my junior and senior year of highschool. Interestingly, the Prado is the exact length and width of a Panama Canal lock. Also in 2 of the 4 family houses down each side of the Prado, my family and I lived 2 different times. (the right side as you look at this photo down nearer the Admin Building. Hope you enjoy.
