So then that afternoon came I didn't know what would eventually happen, so I was super happy that day. When we…

When one thinks of summer, it immediately comes to mind the sight of sandy beaches, amusement parks and hot sunny days.

Getting there is also not a problem due to their cheap and handy subway system. One thing to be cautioned about is that it can get extremely busy on the weekends, so the best time to be there would be on the weekdays, especially if you do not want…

Assuredly the Panama Canal, If you didn’t know already, was one of the most economic and socialized marvels of its time.
