Trinidad, Moonstone or Clam Beach. Thank you!

So if we were to vacation in California, we would be going to LosAngeles, but what things could we do there? we’re thinking a 3 day trip.

The hotel is in Williamsburg Virginia. It’s located on 3032 Richmond Rd. and is really close to old Williamsburg and Bush Gardens. It’s a really dingy, gross place, but while staying there last spring for a chorus trip with my school, the room my friends and I were in had a few experiences of the poltergeist nature (i.e. things moving to impossible places and lamps turning on in the middle of the night). I was just wondering if anyone else has ever stayed there and had similar experiences. If so I would really like to hear about it.

Hey, im going on a vacation to california this summer. I want to know what to experience or feel when I arrive there. Any cool destinations i can see?Any area or county in particular i should go to ? And why should I travel there in the first place??

Last weekend, the Virginia Horticultural Foundation held a workshop geared towards owners of landscape companies entitled “Spanish for the Green Industry.” During the seminar held in Virginia Beach, instructors led their classes in basic Spanish lessons as well as Latin American culture.

VHF education coordinator, Dawn Alleman told the Virginian-Pilot they began offering the course four years ago because the workforce for the landscaping industry is dominated by those who speak only Spanish.

Alleman said: “If you want to be a foreman in those types of places, you’ve got to have a decent grasp of Spanish.”

One of the attendees, Tom Ritter, owner of Ritter Grounds Maintenance in Norfolk, VA, took the class so that he might be able to speak to his workers for the first time in ten years without the help of a translator.

Ritter said: “I just want to be able to communicate with them on a day-to-day basis.”

Course instructor, Yolima Carr, passed out a book she has written to the class which contains English-to-Spanish phrases which might be helpful to landscapers, such as: “Take out the weeds in the flower bed, edge the bed, then blow the leaves and the clippings.”

She reminded the business owners that the ‘immigrants’ working for them are from their homes and families, and that because of their Catholic beliefs, may need certain days off.

Carr, who is the gardens curator at the Hermitage Museum in Norfolk, suggested that the workers be allowed to play Mexican music, and should be complimented on their work (“Hiciste un buen trabajo”).

Attendees paid 0 each for the five hour class.

This is yet one more example of those who fail to see the need to hire U.S. citizens, when an illegal alien will do it for less. That philosophy may go a long way in lining the pockets of unscrupulous employers, but in a time when so many Americans have been laid off, it is just shy of treason.

By the way, the group offering the class, the Virginia Horticultural Foundation, operates as a non-profit and as such enjoys tax-exempt status. The class was given at the Founder’s Inn, Christian Broadcasting Network founder Pat Robertson’s hotel and resort.
