I'm American not British (:

I am just that little town girl from Alabama... I visited Brazil. WOOOOOWWW! That is oneee place I never wanted to leave! I visited many places, tried on some clothes, and ate some new food. Since I don't have much room to tell you the whole sha-bang that is Brazil I will mention a few things. I first visited the Statue of Corcovado on the mountain of Rio de Janeiro. It was freaky amazing and way huge! This is a statue of Christ that overlooks the city.

One of the Tallest... and attracts millions of people

After that, I went to a local market. Obseriving the little things on the way I saw what was so small but most beauutiful. A brazilian orchid. A little flower that would dress up anything. I grabbed some fruit from the market that i had never seen before. It almost looked like a fuzzy potato! It was called Cupuaçu and it was kind of tart. But it was really good! It is a popular fruit in Brazil.

Aloha?.. Yes, Hawaii

Hawaiian Sunset on the Beach

Hawaii is most definitely one of the most gorgeous places on earth. I myself love the ocean and am a sucker for a good sunset and some palm trees... and I'm not the only one who is glad to have Hawaii part of the United States. But, Hawaii didn't go down without a fight. Queen Liliuokalani was determined to keep Hawaii free. But that obviously didn't happen. To me this isn't a question or argument to ask someone like me. This is something that the natives of Hawaii want. Whether they enjoy being a part of the U.S. or not is not a part for me to say. I am not the kind of person to argue about something like that.

Queen Liliuokalani

Hawaiians just want what's best for there home land. They have done well keeping it a beautiful place, and I'm sure if i was a native there i wouldn't want to be taken over by the United States. It is almost like their own island. Like in the movies, you see those few people who inhabit an island and want it as their own. When someone comes along and tries to take it they get protective. I wouldn't mind if Hawaii was its own country or it own territory because it would just be like every other beautiful place you just wish to get to someday. Some place like Sydney, Australia... Costa Rica... Brazil... and any other beautiful places. It would be just like that. Them being part of the U.S. is just a perk. Just a place to get away. A place that should be taken care of....

Costa Rica-What would you do if your beautiful land was taken from you...?

Yikes man, first post!

Hey... this is suppose to be a introduction and I am not very good with introductions. BUT! This is a website used for history class. Not just for boring blah blah blah purposes but for creative thinking reasons. A blog is a perfect way to get through to one's mind what you are learning and what you have learned. Reviewing posts, new pictures, and asking questions. When it comes to the blog I have always come up with a new question, never have I just learned one chapter of material. I learn the whole picture and it sticks.

did you get your "Ah Hah" moment yet?
