Panama

if i could visit any spanish speaking country, i would visit Panama. I would love to be able to see the sun rise on one side of the ocean and set on the other in the same day. It would be a great story to tell and definately an experience unique to this country. while in Panama, i would also visit Casco Viejo, a historic section of Panama origionally built in the 1600's. Containing the original Spanish acitecture, this would be a great place to visit that would remind you of a simpler time. While in Panama, i would try to explore both the more advanced Panama of today and the more quaint places where technology has not yet made its mark.

Blog 4- Shakira

Shakira is a singer from Colombia. She sings songs in spanish and english and has since the early 1990's. This video is her song, Waka Waka, the official song of the 2010 World Cup. In the video, there are images of plays from the world cup and players. There are also clips of Shakira dancing, doing the waka waka, with African men and women. This song starts out talking about a battle and fighting. The song then shifts into talking about this being your moment, like a "pump up" song of sorts. The song also includes a chorus in an African language and some origional dance moves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzsuE5ugxf4
