In all the places the kings visit, Old San Juan is the largest celebration on the island. Nonetheless, every holiday comes with its own set of family traditions.

The Melbourne Cup has such a rich history, significant and everlasting memories as well as holding strong celebrations across the Country.
American Popular Music Assignment #3 May 11, 2015 Music from the 70’s The decade of the 70’s seemed to be an incredibly fun and eye opening time for youth and musicians alike. This decade of indulgence and experimentation gave way to a multitude of choices for music fans around the world, especially in Europe and United States. To choose only three different types of music from this amazing time in our history is a little difficult. I consider my music taste to be eclectic, and I try to keep an open mind.
