Request for Answer Clarification by markj123-ga on 15 May 2003 17:09 PDT
Hello Bobbie,
Thank you for your answer.  The articles from travel weekly and other
print magazines are what i'm looking for... whereas the other articles
from mainly web-based publications or sources are really not as
useful.

I did not clarify this so it's really my mistake..

Is there any way to run a search of specifically US newspaper articles
that might deal with Panama travel?  Eg big city newspapers that have
a sunday travel section often carry feature articles.  This would be
the best source for articles as most likely the article has not
propagated across the web yet.

thank you,
Mark

PANAMA\ THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAN THE CANAL, INCLUDING BRIGHT BIRDS,
MISCHIEVOUS MONKEYS, EXOTIC SCENERY, AND DELIGHTFUL DINING
Published on December 10, 2000
Author(s):    Andreae Downs, Globe Correspondent

“After a short but bone-crunching Jeep drive up a rocky mountain road,
we arrived in a jungle gorge. Through the middle ran a clear,
trout-filled stream, and on the steep slopes around us was the thick,
lush foliage of a cloud forest.

True to its nature, Panama's rain forest was cool, damp, and nearly
impenetrable. We walked up a short trail to some cabins and a lookout.
Ahead on a partly-bare tree, we saw them

Five quetzals, birds prized by the Aztec and Maya for the male's”

“Last year, more than 12,000 vessels passed through the Panama Canal,
which divides North and South America and connects the Atlantic to the
Pacific. So cruising the canal is the only way to see it, right?
Hardly. Here's how to get a close-up view of one of the world's great
engineering feats.
WHERE: The canal is west of Panama City, about an hour by taxi from
Tocumen International Airport and 10 minutes from Gelabert Airport
(formerly Albrook).”


I hope this helps.

“It's not every railroad that displays its stuffed and mounted
roadkills in a passenger terminal - the toothy end of a crocodile
sliced in half by its wheels, an ocelot's cousin killed by its
cowcatcher. Then again, the Panama Canal Railway is pretty unusual,
chugging from the Pacific to the Atlantic in one hour, on a 47-mile

“Sitting in hammocks strung across a large hut made of sugar cane and
straw, the tribal elders trade centuries-old tales passed down to them
