Shanya's Thoughts

 Over the past few weeks, blogging has become a part of my life. When it comes to writing I put my best efforts into making an interesting post and meet the criteria for a good grade. Although, I know that making a blog post is more than just a good grade, it's also about making a connection to the reader(s).

South Asians make up the largest group in the small country at about two-fifths of the population. Their ancestors came to the country from India to replace Africans in plantation work. Today, they remain in plantation agriculture and many are independent farmers and land

 One of the most unique Caribbean coastal regions, Honduras, is known for its beautiful tropical beaches and delicious food. The coastal region definitely has a multi-ethnic history. Honduras was a part of the large Mesoamerican cultural network and home of the Garifuna people.  It wasn't until July 1502, Christopher Columbus landed on the Bay islands which is a group of eight main islands off of the coast of Honduras, and shortly after he went to the mainland. Columbus named the region Honduras for the deep waters off its coast. Over a decade later in 1521, the Spanish of the Aztec Empire declared all indigenous people subjects of the Spanish Empire. The Spanish Empire took over Honduras. For the next few years, Honduras was conquered three more times. Honduras was first colonized by Hernan Cortes then Olid set sail to the region where he declared himself the governor, having numerous run-ins with Cortez over the control of Honduras. In 1740 Edward I and the British got a piece of

Everyday people travel all over the world to explore the wonderful world of the Caribbean. Whether if you are traveling alone, with a spouse, or family, you are sure to have a great time! One place in particular known as the land of lakes an volcanoes, Nicaragua has the second largest rainforest in the Americas and is the largest country in Central America. A unique fact about Nicaragua is that its the only country in Latin America to be colonized by the Spanish and the British! This makes this country alone to have two diverse cultures Spain and Britain. Half of the country is Spanish speaking and has adopted the Spanish culture in South America while the other half is English speaking which has adapted British along with African and indigenous cultures such as Honduras.
