I went to Panama City Beach,
Florida from March 8 to March 15. Panama City Beach, Florida was founded on May
2, 1936. The city received its name because it was the nearest American port to
the newly opened Panama Canal. In 1935, Gideon Thomas built the Panama City
Hotel because he saw great potential in the area for tourism. Many people
criticized his vision and said no one would come to beach because it is not
attractive. Thomas responded to saying, “I’m not attempting to grow vegetables
here; I’m trying to grow people.” Today, Panama City Beach is a vacation spot
for travelers all over the world.
