You know, traveling is supposed to be a learning experience. We travel more, and we learn more - about cultures, customs, people, etc.
But really, some of the learning can also be easily done online. Some of the learning can be done TOO easily online. So here's a challenge for whoever's reading our blog:
Without searching online for an answer, leave us a comment to tell us how did America get her name?
Did ol' Chris Columbus see a vulture as he came to these shores? And since the word vulture is translated to the word "Merica" in the local tribe's dialect, Chris claims to have found A-Merica?
We have already Googled for the answer, of course. So you don't have to send us links in response. But tell us a story, regardless if it's true or not! :)
