Claudius.
Claudius was born August 10 BC a to 13 October AD 54. He was an emperor form 41 to 54. He had two older siblings Germanicus and Livlla. Claudius worked on his history with the civil wars. His mother and grandmother put a stop to it.
Claudius took several steps to legamtize his rule against potential usurpers. He adopted the name Caesar and the name still carried great weight with the populace but then he dropped it and went with Nero. He had switched his name plenty of times before he actually decided on one. He was the first Emperor who resorted to bribery which means to secure army loyalty.He remained grateful and issuing coins with tributes.
In 43, Claudius sent Aulus Plautius with four legions to Britian. Britons were used in the capture of Cmaulodnum. The Senate granted him a trimph fo rhis efforts . Britian was an attarctive target for Rome. It was attractive because of it's wealth.
Suetonius said that Cladius was extraordinarily fond of games. When Claudius had power he instituted games to be held in honor of his father.Claudius fought a killer whale which was trapped in the harbor and Piny the Elder was there to witness it. He rebilt Pompey's Theaer after the fire had destroyed it.
Claudius was murdered by poison which ws eather on a feather or a mushroom. Some also say that hsi doctor was the reasoning fo rhis death he was known for doing this to people. After his death amny changes were done to rome. Claudius' temple was left unfnished after only some of hte foundation had been laid down which was eventually the site was overtaen by Nero's Golden Horse. He made a real difference in Rome after his death.

Education week.
I will be doing Mexico on my International Education Week. Their education is just about the same as ours. They have a High School, Junior High and a Primary school. Primary Schools go from first grade to sixth grade. The ages are usually six to twelve. Half a day is spent in Spanish and the other half of a day in either English or French. Junior High School "middle school". Junior High is grades seventh through nineth. Ages twelve through fifteen and they are taught Physics, Chemistery and World History. High School is grades tenth through twelveth ages fifteen through eighteen. It consists three years of education, divided into six semesters. In those six semesters they do Physical Sciences ( electricty, chemistery, biology) or Social Sciences ( commerce, philosophy, law). The term preparatonoa is most commonly used for institutions that offer a three year education program that "prepares" the student with a general knowledge to contiue studying at a university. Higher Education usually follows the United States education model. So their collages or univerites are just like ours. They have to have a four year bacholor degree, two year masters degree and a three year doctoral degree. Undergraduate studies normally last four years. They do creidts like they do here. You have to have four creidts of English, three math creidts,three social studies, one physical education,one communication creidt and eight elective units.Their grading scale is about the same depending in how the teacher likes to grade is how the use it. 10 is excellent, 9 very good, 8 good, 7 average, 6 sufficient and 0-5.9 is pretty much a fail. But other teachers may like the grading scale that we have. There is noing differnt about the way they are taught there than they are here.

9-3-11 last day :(
Today is my last day in Mexico. This was a really fun experince and I can tell other people to travel there and maybe they will have as much fun. Puerto Vallarta is my last destination on my wonderful Mexico trip. Im going to Rancho El Charco to take a horse back ride threw threw the forest. Beautiful peaceful place to take a horse back ride. Then I'm going to Meramesphosis Day Spa. That felt amazing to my back. I got the Swedish Massage. Then I spent the rest of my day packing to go home wich was really depressing. I hate saying good-byes to anything. Now im going to travel back to Mexcio City to catch my flight. I learned ver many things about Mexcio traveling there there cultures are very differnt from ours. But there food is great.

Yesturday was a fun and exiting to watch people jump off cliffs. But now I'm headed to Playa del Carmen. This was a really fun trip. I went kyaking, para-sailing, and swimming. Swimming was just so relaxing. Just leatting the waves take you. Kayaking was intersting and fun.I really liked it and decided that I should star doing that more often. Para-sailing was amazing. I always have dreamed of doing that. And when i got the chance to i took it. I ate a Señor Frogs I had the cocunt shrimp with the umbeliveable sauce. Today was really a easy day I really just wanted to relax and take everything in that i have done on this trip. It was amazing and I love everthing i have done and i dont wanna leave this place.138: I stayed at Club Akumal Caribe Hotel that's pretty nice for one person to stay at. Nice clean little place. I had fun.

9-1-11 day5
Woke up this morning and decided to head to Acapulco. I'm going to stay at Quinta Real Acapulco. This hotel was built into an 80 foot cliff. Beautiful and peaceful place it is. The hotel was located away from the crowds and the view of the ocean was amazing. For breakfast I ate at the hotel some fresh fuit and eggs. I went to La Quebrada to watch the cliff divers jump off the huge cliffs into the ocean. I ate lunch at the restaurant La Perla where I could eat and still watch the cliff divers. I enjoyed a enchilada and a soda. Then I traveled to El Fuerte de San Diego to enjoy the museum. It showed about how soliders lived and you could view videos about the history of the museum. The fort was intended to protect the main port of the western coast of Mexico. Then I went to Isla La Roqueta to enjoy the small island and to I took a glass bottom boat ride. It was a great experience. The island was nice for taking hikes and sightseeing.
