Vacation essay for school
From April 2, 2014 through April 10, 2014, my family and I went of an educational fieldtrip. For our educational trip, we went on a cruise to Port Canaveral, Florida, Nassau, Bahamas, and Freeport, Bahamas. I felt the trip was educational because, I learned something new at each stop.
In Port Canaveral, Florida I learned about biology. “Bio” means life and “ology” means the study of; Biology means the study of life. At Port Canaveral I studied the life of manatees. I learned that they are endangered and did not like to come to shore. Since manatees are endangered they had to live at a Sanctuary Park. This place was made so the manatees did not get hit by boats and did not become extinct.
Nassau, Bahamas is where I experienced the culture of the Bahamas. I went shopping with my family. While I was shopping, I noticed that it did not look the shops at Pennsylvania. The shops in Nassau, Bahamas where bright and colorful little huts. I had the opportunity to go into “The Grass Hut” and experienced the Bahamas true culture. The Grass Hut was composed of at least 20 different shops. This included a wood carving stand and that could also be used as a purse weaving stand. Everything in The Grass Hut was handmade and you got to see the people who made the purses or wood carvings that you bought, make another one.
Freeport, Bahamas is lined with beautiful, natural beaches that the natives appreciate. Freeport is the 2nd largest city in the Bahamas and with it being a tourist hot-spot; they use that to their advantage. At this stop, I learned about the economy and how they make money off the natural resources. With the ocean, they thrive off of the actives that are possible for tourists to do (for example, snorkeling, water skiing, swimming, etc.)
During my trip, I learned about the culture and economy of the Bahamas; the biology of Port Canaveral, Florida. I feel that I could not be able to experience everything that I did on my trip or even begin to
