Colombia's story

  Everyone’s story starts way back and Colombia’s story starts with pirates. Yes, pirates are real the pirates would come from French, Spain, and Dutch. Colombia’s history is like any other one, people fought for independence and Colombia gained its independence. Colombia uses to be a very dangerous country it has slowly become safe. I was informing my older brother about going but as soon as I told him. His face turned really concerning that’s when I explained that Colombia is safer, amazing to visit, nice things to do, and there’s a lot of famous people that come from Colombia.

  Do you feel your blog meets all the rubric criteria? If not, then what areas need work? The area I should work on is the amount I write. I write so little for my blog post I should write more for my blog post.   Which aspects of writing assignments on a blog confuse or create stress for you? My writing assignments are pretty straight forward they are broken down and easy to understand.   Are you putting your best efforts into assignments and blog writing? I know I'm not putting my best efforts into my assignments there's always room for improvement.   Or,  do you procrastinate and then have trouble completing your work? I do procrastinate but I always get my work done on time.   Do you review and revise your blog posts for grammar, mechanics, and readability? I use grammerly.com which every student should use it's free and corrects your work.   Writing on a blog can be risky since the blog is public and will be seen by others. How do you feel about other students reading

 The Caribbean coastal region I picked is Columbia. For My writing assignment, I will be introducing Columbia with its history. I would also like to write about the famous singers from Columbia. I would also write about Pablo Escobar and what he did for Columbia. Before that, I am going to talk about culture, art, and food. Columbia has a museum called museum del oro which Has a lot of gold. The resources I will be using for my paper are VCL, Google scholar, and articles on famous people.

 The British virgin islands were conquered in 1555 by the Roman emperor. However, Christopher Columbus arrived there in 1493. In 1648 the Dutch had settled on the island. The island later became Independent in 1960. Since it is an island their primary source of food is seafood. The population is mixed mostly afro Caribbean, Latino, and European.    

Cuba

 On the Caribbean island, I recommend you to go to Cuba. The primary language that is spoken in Cuba is Spanish. The beaches are excellent places to visit like Vadaero beach. The beaches have nice clear water with white sand. The cars in Cuba are really vintage that's something new and nice to look at. Some of their buildings are painted with bright colors. The food is wonderful my friend is Cuban and she makes the best foods. In Cuba, you can go scuba diving and see some amazing waterfalls like leaping Caburni. Another thing you can do is go zip lining if you are not scared of heights. One of the places is called Las Terrazas this is where you can go zip lining. The currency used in Cuba is Cuban pesos. A fun fact is that part of fast and furious was filmed in Cuba to be specific at the capital which is Havana.
