Havana, Cuba

Hello from Cuba! Might I note that this is a history day, and I would like to start off by saying that you can by NO MEANS FLY TO CUBA FROM TH U.S. ANY OTHER COUNTRY IS FINE, BUT NO FLYING FROM THE U.S.!!!!!

Now, on to the history part. Cuba means "where fertile land is abundant", but was originally named Juana by Christopher Columbus after the prince Don Juan, but after he left the name didn't hold and it was named Cuba, the name that the natives before Columbus had given it.

The natives have a special nickname for their island- El Cocodrilo. From above, Cuba seems to look like a crocodile. Cocodrilo is Cuban for crocodile. There are crocodiles that reside in Cuba as well, so it's name might have come from that.

Well, I should probably get some rest now. I have a long journey ahead of me tomorrow. Bye.
