Italy Travel Guide

Travel Guide To Italy

Ft. Greyson Urban

Food in Italy is very different than here in America. Most of the food is well, European, like chocolate filled croissants, and bread. But they do also have margarita pizza, and pastas. But the best of all, Seafood, Seafoodin Italy is awesome, and you must try it.

The architecture in Italy varies on where you go. In Rome, everything is made of sandstone and wood and is usually from 61 a.d. In Venice, it’s mostly brick square buildings on cobblestone roads. Florence is more of the same, but no water, and lots of wood and stone, (they also build stupidly high). Pompeii is well, looming with the sense of death, but mostly red brick, cobble and crossroads. And Positano is on the side of a mountain, but the architecture there is fairly modern.

The culture in Italy is usually is nice unless your in Rome then everyone there is stupid. Pompeii everyone there is dead so yeah. But the culture of Italy is nice and kind and supports tourism a lot and if you were to go to italy say hi to venice.

The people in Italy also vary, In Rome, everyone there are idiots and it’s kinda like New York City. Venice is amazing to me. Everyone there is nice. Florence is more modern ish. And everywhere else is kinda like Netherlands culture. Nice and kind to travelers.

The flight to Italy is 8 hours and 15 minutes. And to get everywhere you use bullet trains and cars. The cars in Italy are tiny and sometimes you can take a bike. nIn Venice you walk or by boat. And Positano is walking or taking buses and that’s basically it for italy. You walk or just take a train or take a small car.

Early American History

“Put a picture of something patriotic.” -My Mom

Today I have been asked to write something, so today we will spend some time reviewing the foundational documents of the United States. Assignment: Find 3-4 sentences that describe each of these documents. Format each document with it’s sentences into an outline and publish it as a blog post with a patriotic photo.

Topic One: The Magna Carta, “Magna Carta Libertatum (Medieval Latin for “Great Charter of Freedoms”), commonly called Magna Carta (also Magna Charta; “Great Charter”), is a Royale Charter of Right agreed to by King John of Edmund at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215.” -Wikipedia. Or in other words, some British dudes who signed a treaty in 1215 because a couple of teens scared them by stealing a couple pounds.

Topic Two: The Mayflower Compact, The Mayflower Compact, originally titled Agreement Between the Settlers of New Plymouth, was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony. It was written by the male passengers of the Mayflower, consisting of separatist Puritans, adventurers, and tradesmen.

Topic three: The Declaration Of Independance Under the supervision of the Jefferson committee, the approved Declaration was printed on July 5th and a copy was attached to the “rough journal of the Continental Congress for July 4th.” These printed copies, bearing only the names of John Hancock, President, and Charles Thomson, secretary, were distributed to state assemblies, conventions, committees of safety, and commanding officers of the Continental troops.

Topic Four: The Articles of Confederation, On June 11, 1776, the Second Continental Congress appointed three committees in response to the Lee Resolution. One of these committees, created to determine the form of a confederation of the colonies, was composed of one representative from each colony with John Dickinson, a delegate from Delaware, as the principal writer.

Topic Five: The Treaty of Paris, Believing that they would benefit militarily by allying themselves with a powerful nation, the revolutionary colonies formed an alliance with France against Great Britain. According to this first military treaty of the new nation, the United States would provide for a defensive alliance to aid France should England attack, and neither France nor the United States would make peace with England until the independence of the United States was recognized.

Topic Six: The Northwest Ordinance of 1787, he Northwest Ordinance, adopted July 13, 1787, by the Confederation Congress, chartered a government for the Northwest Territory, provided a method for admitting new states to the Union from the territory, and listed a bill of rights guaranteed in the territory. Following the principles outlined by Thomas Jefferson in the Ordinance of 1784, the authors of the Northwest Ordinance (probably Nathan Dane and Rufus King) spelled out a plan that was subsequently used as the country expanded to the Pacific.

Topic Seven: The Constitution of the United States, The Constitution of the United States 1787) Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, the U.S. Constitution is the world’s longest surviving written charter of government

Topic Seven: Federalist Papers, The Federalist Papers is a collection of 85 articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the collective pseudonym “Publius” to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution.

Topic Eight: The Bill Of Rights, The Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

So thank you for reading my passage, please come back for more and enjoy your week. 🙂

How To Make A Dirtbike Bike Trail By: Greyson Urban

If you were ever wondering how to make a trail from a bmx trail or dirtbike trail, this would be the guide for you. Usually when you start a trail you want to find a nice hill filled location to start. Usually bike trials have challenges to overcome, ranging from jumps, to sharp turns. Work on removing shrubs and flattening hills and making the jumps to your liking. Add challenges to your course, make it hard for others and you. If you have the time, make it wider, faster, more dangerous and have fun with it. Once you have a long enough trail, test it, if you like it great! Invite some friends to test it with you and enjoy your new trail.
