It is located in Satiago, although my family is originally from the capital. The monument entails the bravery behind the Spanish community that rose against the government and dictatorship that was being wrongfully governed. I would also take them to Independence Square in St.Kitts although I have never been but I would learn alongside with them about the history that took place in Independence Square in St.Kitts. ]]> 2021-06-03 16:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583057682 pglantz https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583058268 Things to do in Kingston Jamaica

The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον (akron, "highest point, extremity") and πόλις (polis, "city").^[1] The term acropolis is generic and there are many other acropoleis in Greece. During ancient times it was known also more properly as Cecropia, after the legendary serpent-man, Cecrops, the supposed first Athenian king.]]> 2021-06-03 16:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583058425 bivey2 https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583058591 Lets go to Jamaica Mon

The Galapagos Islands-history, beaches and volcanoes! Situated in the Pacific Ocean some 1,000 km from the South American continent, these 19 islands and the surrounding marine reserve have been called a unique ‘living museum and showcase of evolution’. Located at the confluence of three ocean currents, the Galápagos are a ‘melting pot’ of marine species. Ongoing seismic and volcanic activity reflects the processes that formed the islands. These processes, together with the extreme isolation of the islands, led to the development of unusual animal life – such as the land iguana, the giant tortoise and the many types of finch – that inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection following his visit in 1835.]]> 2021-06-03 16:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583065077 https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583065427 I will take you to el Yunque so that you can admire the beauty of the forest in my tiny but big Island.

To this day, it is still a wonderful community with rich cultures and traditions. The Bronx has a lot of places to visit. There is Pelham Bay Park, The Bronx Zoo, The Botanical Gardens, Little Italy, and of course Yankee Stadium.]]> 2021-06-03 16:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583066052 https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583066580 I would take you to the Dominican Republic during February.

How we do have a mass transit system in order to avoid the terrible traffic. Id have to say to visit the multiple great places to shop, such as Fordham road and bay plaza shopping mall. Food is always a step or call away no matter what time it is. Id have to say though, if I was asked if this is a great place to live, id have to kindly say no. Nice to visit though. ]]> 2021-06-03 16:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583066785 https://padlet.com/ofotini/r3ru1ucktewchcpr/wish/1583069505 Puerto Rico, has the worlds largest telescope.
