The Latin America region is south of North America on the world map. This region was once filled with countries that were at one point colonialized by European countries, but these countries are now independent. The Latin American region consists of mainly the South America continent, Central America, and Mexico. Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica, Chile, and many other countries make up this region. One thing that many people do not know is that Puerto Rico is an American territory and its inhabitants are United States citizens. The Latin American region does not offer the best economic situations, but it does have many other aspects to it.

Cerro Alto is the name of both the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) campground and the hike to one of the highest spots in San Luis Obispo County. This lovely, wooded campground is on Highway 41, in a shaded canyon, seven miles from Morro Bay. It is a place I have camped often when visiting the area. It has twenty-two sites, pit toilets and water. It is also scenic, green and quiet.
Although it may not feel like it, we are currently in an ice age today. An ice age is just a period of time when the Earth’s climate faces a constant and drastic decrease in temperature. Periods of colder temperature during an ice age have been called "glaciations" because they result in something being covered by glaciers or ice sheets. Shorter-term, irregular intervals of warmer temperatures have been called "interglacials", which is what we are currently living in today. However, some scientists believe that the climate may dramatically decrease in the near future, and we could see glaciers return again like we did in the last glacial period. This last glacial period is referred to as “The Ice Age.” It was the most recent glacial period within our current ice age occurring in the
The constant theme in the discussion was the location of the Southwest and its boundaries. Everyone agreed that it was located in Arizona, New Mexico, parts of California, Texas, and Sonora, Mexico. I do agree that the climate, religion, the environment, plant and animal life make up a region such as the Southwest.

The climate conditions across the New World also created the different cultures that were found by the Spaniards.
