Panama Blog #2

 


Panama

I chose the beautiful region of Panama because I was captivated by its beautiful water ways alongside mountainous landscapes. Fun fact about panama it is the biggest canal region in Central America. Most people when thinking of the Panama Canal would be amazed to know that this region is becoming a very popular place for tourist and it is expanding their horizons based on the new demographic in the 21st century. Panama has an abundant number of different foods you could ever want. Varying from Ceviche (which I hear was one of the most popular dishes) to beef. Since it is right on the canal you better believe their seafood is going to be the most fresh and flavorful food you have ever had. Thinking of the assortment of flavors in their food is making my mouth water right now. Panama also has a great selection of music to listen to such as jazz to Reggaeton. Things you might need to know before visiting this amazing place is “pack shorts and sandals, the US Dollar is accepted, most beaches are remote, it’s one of the safest places to visit, and Americans do not need a visa to travel here”. All those things are a huge bonus, doing your research before visiting a new area is key. The remote beaches would be one of the key factors for me visiting the Panama due to the current situation our country is in, so it is nice to know we can be spread out with no worries. The tourist’s attractions are excellent in Panama here is some places you must go see during your visit, CNN states “Panama Canal, Casco Viejo, Panama City, Bocas del Toro, Emberra Indians, La Loma Chocolate Farm, and the Biodiversity Museum” to name a few. The chocolate farm would be enough to get me to go, all joking aside Panama is truly a place I highly recommend going to. Lastly the culture of Panama is unique because it is a very diverse region. Britannica.com says “it’s a blend of African, American Indian, North American, and Spanish influences. So, if you ever get the opportunity to go here, I highly recommend it.

Blog Post #4- Getting to know your island: Bermuda

Image
 As many of us know Bermuda is infamously known as The Bermuda Triangle, VCL  exclaims "a region of the Atlantic ocean where many ships and planes were said to disappear". Still to this day people have no clue as to why these strange disappearing's keep happening, they don't know if it's the climate making people disoriented or if there's a more sinister situation happening.  All that aside Bermuda is consisted of seven main coral islands shaped like a fish hook, a little bit about the island is "it's made up of most Bermudian English, a dialect distinct from other Caribbean creole languages, Portuguese is also spoken here" (VCL).  Bermuda is unique in more ways, it's colonization was actually on accident. "the first settlement on Bermuda was forged in the wreckage of a British flagship called Sea Venture in 1609." This interested me the most because it's one of the most well known islands of the Caribbean and it was settled com

Self Assessment

   I don't feel like my blog meets all the rubric criteria, I say that because I needed to fix my formatting such as chunking my text and fixing the MLA formatting as well as wrapping my pictures around the text.   I thought I knew the correct formatting of how a blog was supposed to look like, which wasn't the case, so I'm working on that.  I am making sure I understand what is being asked of me, even though some things might not be correct, I feel like I am taking the right steps into becoming a better writer and I am learning along the way.  I used to procrastinate a lot but, I have gotten better at doing my work almost immediately when it's assigned.  I review my work and revise it, make sure there's no spelling or grammar errors. I need to get better at the MLA format.    I feel fine about letting my peers reading my blog because I know that we are all here to learn, and I have the understanding that not everyone knows how to write blogs, but as long as we all
