Columbus Day

Today is Dia de la hispanidad in Spain and tomorrow is Columbus day in the United States. Both holidays are celebrating the same person and what he achieved, Christopher Columbus and his discovery of the Americas. Some of you might be attending the military parade in the Plaza De Colon in Madrid, but for those of you who are sitting at home on this rainy October day, why don't you check out the online history channel to learn a bit more about what exactly is being celebrated. You will find videos, quizzes, articles and plenty more to keep you occupied on this wet Sunday and of course you will be learning English to boot!
