What Makes Wakulla a Must-See Location:
Perhaps the idea of going to a beach where commercialism has inundated the area is just not your idea of fun. The area might have once been pristine, but now it is overrun with tacky shops and tourist trap attractions.

Wakulla Beach:
This small beach located at the end of Wakulla Beach Road is far from the average white sandy beach. Wakulla Beach is part of the St. Marks National Refuge, which means this beautiful beach is surrounded by cabbage palms and salt marsh grass. It also features a gentle shoreline.

The 69 degree waters are refreshing and rejuvenating, but the real adventurers will most enjoy a jump from the 22 foot dive/observation tower located at Wakulla Springs State Park.

Wakulla Springs is one of the largest and deepest freshwater springs in the world. The spring flow rate is about two hundred million gallons of water a day. The water flow of the springs develops at the caves of the Florida Aquafers. The water then forms the Wakulla River and flows 9 miles southeast. After flowing 9 miles the Wakulla River joins the St. Marks River. The St. Marks River then empties out into the Gulf of Mexico at the Apalachee Bay. Part of the Wakulla Springs water system is the Wakulla underwater cave system. The Wakulla- Leo Sink cave system is the longest underwater cave system in the United States (Friends of Wakulla Springs).
Long before the Florida Turnpike and the Interstate Highway System ramped up to full speed and swampland in Central Florida was paved over, Florida tourist venues and roadside attractions were an eclectic mix of fun, imagination, intrigue and amazement for everyone. From reptile farms, tropical gardens and aquatic springs to dolphin shows, old west towns and museums of the unique and strange, tourists visiting Florida were able to catch, either by design or on a whim, these venues, as they rolled down US highways 1,19, 41, 301 and all the off-the-beaten-path back roads. But as time marched on, so did the tourist, as they stayed on the interstate and headed for Orlando, to see what all the hub-bub was about in the early 1970s. The venues and attractions may be long gone, but they are not forgotten, as memories of the wonderful tourist and roadside attractions that were a piece of Florida history, are recalled.

About half way between Ishpeming and Champion lies Wawonowin Country Club. This will forever be one of my favorite places in the world. Wawonowin is the place I learned to play my favorite sport golf. Also it could be considered my second home growing up. During the summer when I’m not home, most likely you will find me here. To others it may seem like just your average golf course, but to me it is one of the nicest places on earth.
Travel east, inland from the volcanic Kohala Coast to discover Waimea (also called Kamuela), which is unlike any other place on Hawaii Island. Known as paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) country this historic area full of rolling, green pastures is still home to cattle, cowboys and ranches.
Have you ever bought anything online? I have. It’s kind of hard to know what to expect when you buy something online. Some things that might go through your mind while shopping might be, Is it a good deal? What if I am being ripped off? Maybe since it’s so cheap, it might be bad quality? I bought a Kahuna Ukulele and I was surprised on how cheap it was. A ukulele is kinda like a smaller version of a guitar. Ukuleles originated from Hawaii and that’s why people called it the, “Hawaiian instrument.” Kahuna Ukulele is a ukulele company that sells various types ukuleles. My friend has a ukulele and her’s was in really good condition. I found a company called, Kahuna Ukuleles and at first, I didn’t know if it was a good company to get a ukulele or a bad company. I got the ukulele and I saw that they also sell ukuleles with cool prints and designs on them. The ukulele then came and when it came to my doorstep, I thought it was a joke because some letters on the side of the box were misspelled (which got me worried). When I opened the box, I saw a wonderful, beautiful instrument that looked just like it’s picture online. Kahuna Ukuleles are amazing and wonderful and that is because of their quality, sound and color.

When not many people go to this wetland because it is hidden in the middle of a camp and farmland. To find this place from Warm Beach Camp you would have to take many winding trails that might leave you lost if you weren't shown or told the way. Getting to the wetland from the street you go down a road called Soundview Dr and take a left on another road called beach drive. If you chose to drive, at the end of the road you can park at the gate on the lawn of a neighbor. Once going through the gate you are met by tons of beautiful foliage and nature.

The final component of an Ikigai is something that pays well. In my opinion this is easily the most important part of an Ikigai, career, or anything for that matter. My driving force for choosing this career field is all about the money. Being in this career field I can make six figures. In life money is the most helpful tool there is. Being paid well can change so many aspects of my life. It could change minor things like what I drive and what I wear. It can also change major things like where I live and how my future kids are spoiled. I believe money can buy happiness, so when I make it into this career field I will be feeling a happiness that I can’t describe. Also the pay is like a reward for the hard work and effort that was put in to
Nyiragongo is an active stratovolcano, and it is located in about 20 km north of the City of Goma and Lake Kivu, where is in Democratic Republic of Congo. This volcano is located in the South of East African Rift. This volcano has a large lava lake in the creator. Once this creator collapsed, it causes fast lava flow. In the eruption of 1977, the creator of the lava lake collapsed, and then lava flow moved upper slope with about 100 km/h speeds. As a result, over 1000 people and many animals were killed by the lava flow. The most recent large eruption occurred in 2002. In this eruption, a 13 km fissure opened in the south flank of the Nyiragongo, and then much amount of lava flows moved to the city of Goma. Then it destroyed 13% of the area
As the African proverb goes, “If you want people to understand you, speak their language.” Such was the case for the Wolof tribe when France colonized their native country of Senegal, located on the northern West coast of Africa, in the early 20th century. Before the French arrived, Senegal had been a constantly changing domain. The Portuguese, Dutch, British, and French fought back and forth over outposts such as the small island of Gorée, part of modern-day Dakar, Senegal. It was finally returned to the French by the British in 1815, after the Napoleonic wars, and the French began their expansion into the mainland (Diallo). However, as the French ventured farther into Africa, they encountered the Wolof, a people who had been denizens of Senegal
