The summer of 2016, my family decided to shake up our annual summer vacation by heading out west, and chose to go to Sedona, Arizona. Let me tell you, this place radiates beauty. If you've never heard of Sedona, I’ll give you some background real quick. The city IS a desert city. Everywhere you look there's just dirt or sand on the ground and lots of cacti. But the trait that distinguishes the city IS that it sits within a valley in the red rock. All around you stand mountains made of this fiery earth. During our stay there we hiked along many trails through the red rock to almost every tourist spot, some of which gave you a panoramic view of the mountains. The views appeared surreal and took my breath away. Yes, I could go on and on about the beauty of this city, but that's not quite what this story IS about. On this trip, my family and I got up close and personal with some areas of Sedona that one wouldn't call “tourist hotspots.” The town of Jerome is an old mining town built at the base of a mountain, that now has lots of shops and restaurants, and we decided to make this our next destination. So my dad plugged the town into his iPhone GPS (first mistake) and we headed out to reach our destination. Blue sky and deserted land rolled by as I stared out the window. Time seemed to slowly trail by and we did not see signs of the town anywhere. Then suddenly, the smooth asphalt turned to gravel, and immediately something seemed off. “Are you sure we’re going the right way??”

Cozumel was next on the itinerary but we had no clue what we were going to do there with no excursion booked. When we arrived everyone was running off renting jeeps or taking a taxi but we just stood there looking clueless. This being our first cruise we really didn't know anything about things to do in Cozumel. I stood there thinking "I should have done a little more research on Cozumel". Paul and I were discussing our options when this older couple approached us and introduced themselves, "hello I'm Bill and this is my wife Jennette, we could help but over hear that you are first time cruisers and being unsure of what to do." I laughed and said "Yes we're a little nervous about wondering around in a place we've never been before". The conversations went back and forth for a little while until Bill spoke up and said "why don’t you guys just come with us for the day? "We know of a place you guys can swim at the beach". We we're a little apprehensive to accept their offer at first but we did decided to go. There's way several thoughts running through my mind like "are these people going to take us off and kill us or leave you without a way back to the ship. We took a taxi through town to this ravishing little resort named Occidental Cozumel. It was a burnt orange stucco building decorated with local Mexican décor laced in copper. There was vibrant colors all throughout the breeze way leading to the beach. As the beach came into view I whispered into Paul ear "this look

If you ever find yourself in Ocean City, Maryland, you will always have a relaxing mornings but in the afternoon, may be overwhelmed by the different types of people on the beach. Depending on the time of day, the beach will feel like a completely difference experience. It can switch from a relaxing day soaking up the sun to virtually being in the middle of a beach brawl and swarmed by wild seagulls. These things are all part of ocean city’s crazy experience.

In my travels of the world I have found myself immersed in many cultures and varieties of ethnicity; I have been very fortunate to live in a day and age where such communication and experience is possible in one lifetime. I have seen La Cathedral de Notre Dame, the Statue of Liberty, the home of Da Vinci, and so many more wonderfully spiritual and historic monuments. Yet still I can say with the utmost certainty that no location has left such a lasting impact on my soul as the quaint, simple country of Costa Rica. Although many places have penetrated me with a sense of what the majestic earth and her inhabitants are capable of and have forced me to question whether or not anything is beyond the grasp of human ingenuity, none have brought

In the United States there are about 200,000 Salvadorans living here “illegally” being that they are being protected by Temporary Protected Status (TPS). President Donald Trump and Homeland Security have called an end to TPS for Salvadorans, which will be ending on September 9, 2019. TPS first came about for Salvadorans in the 1980s due to the Salvadoran civil war breaking out. Then it was later renewed due to the earthquake El Salvador had in 2001 that was a 7.7 magnitude earthquake. Since those two incidents TPS has continued to be renewed, but Trump has now called an end to it. The California Content standard 11.11.1 asks students to examine the changes in immigration policies.

In the doorway, a petite, hairless dog laid either asleep or dead. Upon entering, an employee asked us to tie a colorful silk wrap around our waists to cover our legs out of reverence. We complied and entered the cathedral. The ceilings were lofty, and the altar was composed of marble trimmed in gold and ornamented with statues of saints and paintings of cherubs. As I was taking it all in, Jose hurried us out. Once again, we marched the streets of Havana in the sweltering heat. The sweat beaded on my forehead as we hiked, for what seemed to be miles, to a cigar bar in the heart of Havana’s historic district.

We were in the middle of the desert, basically having no sense of direction whatsoever. Riding down the coastline of a twenty-mile island off the coast of Venezuela. Not knowing where to go was an issue but my brother, Ben, and I were on the ATV zooming through the desert seeing various attractions throughout the trip. Watching animals run everywhere, experiencing the views of little beaches with huge waves it was like a dream come true.

The sizzling city of Valdada is located in present day Orlando through Fort Lauderdale. Our city was first introduced to the country in 2067 by a man named Saul Matthew.
