Today is October 13th, the second monday of October making today Columbus Day. We celebrate it because Christopher Columbus Discovered the Americas. But back then he really believed he discovered the Western part of India, and that’s why the Caribbean is sometimes known as the West Indies.
In South Dakota they call it Native American Day which makes sense as well. And today I get a day off from classes and I am happy for that. Happy Columbus day people!
