National Geographic Picture

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge appears to float on a sea of surrounding clouds.

About 2 hours later (after looking through tons of pictures), I picked this picture because this picture is something that I have seen many pictures of, but none of those pictures that I have seen are quiet like this one. I really enjoy this picture because the bridge is pushing straight through the clouds and there is a sunset, I think it is gorgeous.

Cuba and the Travel Ban

I think that changing the travel ban would be good. It would alow people from the United States to go and visit theor families back in Cuba freely. I am glad to see that president of Cuba, Franisco "Pepe" Hernandez, has said that "The bill has gone too far." I would hope that if the travel ban is lifted that itwould help the Cubans get matters in the country resolved. Even though some poeople think that lifting the travel banned will not resolve anything.

Mexico turns to tourism to bolster economy

Imagine blue water, a clear sky, and a city that comes to life a night... Imagine being in Cancun.

The article that I found is about Mexico and its tourism. In the article they talked about Mexico, specifically Cancun, and how it is a well known vacation spot. They talked to a 21 year old female college student who said that her friends already booked their flights this year to go to Cancun. I was curious so I went to Travelocity and look up how much it would cost for one adult to go to Cancun over Concordia's spring break . It would cost a range from $4,166 to $770. For those cost you would get round trip airplane tickets, and stay at a hotel for seven nights. Then you would have to figure in the cost of food and fun. They say that students keep asking for cheaper packages, they say that students feel that they don't need to stay in a five, four star hotel. They also say that it is easier to find a cheaper package because currently jet fuel is cheaper. Mexico is depending on tourism to get them through the global economy crisis. With 30,000 people expected to visit this year and with Cancun being a host for many spring breakers I think that they will come out okay and can pay off some of the things that they have built to improve the atmosphere and the appearance of the beach and resort.

The map that I decided to pick was meat production. I picked this map because I thought that it would be interesting to see the meat production and see where the United States is at. I found out that the China, United States, and Brazil are the top producers of meat in the world. All of this countries together produce over half of the worlds meat.
