Blog Post #2 Island Travel

 I am choosing to write about the Bahamas I think everyone should come here to travel at least one in their life, how could you pass up there one of many beaches so called paradise island I see why it's called that with their beautiful white sand and crystal clear blue water that will sure take your breathe away. Another great reason to come is the weather it's beautiful all year long with the sunshine shining down it rarely ever gets to be below 60 degrees. Personally that would be a plus for me because it can be hard planning a trip sometimes with the whether affecting your plans. They have this carnival called " The Bahamas Junkanoo" It is the hub of bahamian culture It's one of the most popular events on the island they have nonstop live entertainment from the best musicians in the Bahamas. Also if that doesn't win you over they have snorkeling and scuba diving it is one of the worlds premier destinations I would easily go and give that a try. Another really interesting event that they have is that you can go to a island called Exuma Cay Island where you can physically swim with tiny pigs they have about 20-25 pigs freely roaming the island so you can get up close and personal with them they are all very friendly and let you go up to them I think that's crazy that a wild animal will allow you to swim with them. It's a one in a life time opportunity to experience with your loved ones a wonderful memory that you will remember forever. If you are looking for some of the Bahamas most authentic food I would suggest trying this dish called Conch Salad which is this acidic meal that is made with Conch Meat, chopped green peppers, onions, and tomatoes all tossed with fresh lime, lemon, and orange juice, now that sounds so refreshing to eat while enjoying your day out on the beach. Last but certainly not least if you are wanting to learn more about their culture and their music their most popular style of music is called 'Rake and Scrape' the Bahamians love it its classical folk music traditionally played in musicals or folk plays. I love hearing different styles of music and how some places make instruments like with the Junkanoo festival that I mentioned earlier they create drums out of goat skins and clanging cowbells together which is a very unique way of doing things which I find eye opening. That is only some great reasons as to why I think the Bahamas would be a awesome next family vacation.

Blog post # 4 Getting to know your island: Curacao

I chose to adopt the beautiful island of Curacao, as stated in "VCL","  Curacao began to industrialize in the 20th century with the discovery of oil reserves in Venezuela. The Royal Shell Oil Company chose Curacao to be its base of operations, and built refineries on the island in the 1910’s." they did extract wealth from Curacao through brutal means, which meant that when the Spanish people first went to the island they hosted about 15 Arawak Villages and it was home to roughly 2,000 inhabitants which now a days wouldn't be a lot of people but it was back then. Something that I found interesting while reading ''VCL" is that the most fascinating artifacts on Curacao is called the Mikve Israel- Emanuel Synagogue it is actually the oldest operating synagogue in the western hemisphere. That alone would make me wanna go this is one of the pictures from what it looks like on the outside it is completely breathtaking. Another great thing to know about tha

Self Assessment

  I would say yes my blog does meet the criteria on the rubric and no because I meet the 300 word minimum but I know I haven't chunked my paragraphs and used MLA style formatting which I will do from now on.    Sometimes I struggle with writing an assignment on a blog and trying to make it interesting for people to read which I feel like what I write about is fine everyone is unique and will always write about a wide variety of things that's what makes everyone's blogs eye catching to me because you can learn new things from others.       Yes I am putting more effort into my assignments I have never wrote blogs as much as I am now so I feel like every time I post something I gradually get better with how I do my blogs.                                                                 I used to hold off on all my assignments but that only made me stressed because I had all of my assignments due the next day and I had to struggle and spend the whole day finishing all of them b
