Activity 10 / webpage information.

what information will you put on your five pages? (Main Idea, About Me, Gallery, General Information)

-My about me information:
My name is Melissa Soto and I'm 16 years old. My website is about the wonders and great experiences you could have by visiting Costa Rica. My parents are from there and I only wish I was able to grow up in a place so calm and different. Costa Rica is the perfect place to spend you vacations in the tropics. Many people don't know about Costa Rica which is why I want to show them and maybe even persuade you of going. For the people who know about costa rica and has even been there maybe I can even persuade you to go again and take a wonderful vacation. Which is why I decided to tell and show more people about it. I hope you enjoy ! and maybe even get the urge of wanting to go

- For General Information I would write this:
The official name for costa rica is Republica de Costa Rica also the official language is spanish and costa rica's capital is named San Jose which has been ranked fourth among the latin american cities with the best quality of life. The independence date is september 15, 1821 from spain and the currency is colon. Costa Rica is located in central america between the pacific ocean and the caribbean sea. It's varied landscapes and mild climate makes costa rica the perfect getaway for a great vacation. Costa Rica has two international airports which are Juan Santamaria in San Jose its capital and Daniel Oduber in the northern city of liberia. Costa Rica attracts important investments thanks to its efficient productivity in high technology, its well educated population and its high quality technical education accessible in the country. Costa Rica is a democratic republic and it has never seen the political unrest, class struggles, or revolutions commonly associated with other latin american countries. The country doesn't need or have an army because it is such a peaceful country it has no enemies foreign or from within. Costa Rica is also the second largest banana exporter. It has been the oldest democracy with more than 100 years of stability. *Also if your interested costa rica is a safe country where you are able to own land even if you are not a citizen costa rican's constitution guaranties that every person citizen or not has rights to own land.

Activity 6- Website Idea

For my website idea I was thinking of making a website about costa rica because since thats where my parents are from I feel i can make a website and speak about all the nice and exciting places to go visit, the different volcanoes that are there the types of foods they love to eat, the most famous places to go visit, the different beaches and places to be able to go if anyone is ever interested in going to costa rica I could also speak about the history that costa rica has. since many people don't really know where it is i feel i could show people more about it and that way they know more about costa rica. So far these are the ideas i have For my website..
