Finally we landed! This is going to be the best vacation ever. Punta Cana is so beautiful and I am so excited to go to the Hard Rock Resort. My mom is going to be a wonderful bride. As I walk out of the nasty old looking airport I see a big van that will take us to our resort. My moms soon to be husband Billy has two kids, Brant who is fifteen and Alyssa who is eighteen. Alyssa and I will be two of the four bridesmaids, Brant will be one of the four men of honours. My adorable little sister Addie will be the cutest flower girl. My mom and Billy brought along two friends to be bridesmaids and men of honours. I see the Hard Rock Hotel sign, we are so close! As we drive in I see a wonderful clean looking Golf Course. When we pull in

This could seem bad because it’s basically women accepting their roles, such as, housewives, in the Mexican culture.

Looking for a tropical location to take my family, we stumbled upon a gem of a city named Puerto Morelos, Mexico, in the Yucatan Peninsula near the larger city of Cancun. As my children are getting older, it is quite possible this will be one of the last trips we will be able to take as a family. Our friends happen to have a time-share property on Puerto Morelos that they allowed us to use. The city of Puerto Morelos has a typical Mayan history for the towns in the Yucatan Peninsula (Coyle, 2013); however, is not your typical tourist town. The town and seaport of Puerto Morelos may be one of the last remaining authentic fishing villages on the Caribbean coast of Mexico (Coyle, 2013). Sitting just off the shore, the Great Mesoamerican Reef is designated as a national park and offers exceptional diving and snorkeling (visitpuertomorelos.com, 2005). Unlike its larger more touristy neighbors Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos is a place that someone looking for a quiet, peaceful, yet comfortable vacation spot will

In the 1500’s in Peru, there was a king named Huayna (Wayna) Capac, the third Sapa Inca ruler, the sixth of the Hanan dynasty, and the eleventh ruler of the Inca civilization. He appointed on of his sons to rule after he died, but as Huayna died of small pox in 1528, so did his elected son, Ninan Cuyuchi. Due to this sudden lack of leadership two of his other sons jumped into action to claim the throne. One, the favored son, Atahualpa ruled in the north, and his older half brother, Huascar, ruled in the south until it came to a full on civil war that lasted six years. In the end Atahualpa won the war and killed his half brother, his family, historians, and destroyed the Incan Quipu records. This was all done to create a sense of total renewal, and was called Pachakuti (turning over of time and space).

Good afternoon- to all the staff, the facility, friends and family, and all my fellow classmates of the 2017 Primavera Graduation Class. I'm excited to announce that I was given this amazing opportunity to be able to speak at our graduation cermony today.
