Fort Delaware State Park

At the mouth of the Delaware River, on the island of Pea Patch, there is a monument to the Civil War - Fort Delaware. The fort was built in 1815 to protect the cities of Philadelphia and Wilmington from a sea attack. The fort was controlled by the Department of Defense until 1945, when it was no longer needed to protect civilians. In 1951, the fort was created a state park.

Mayan City Ek Balam



Mexico attracts many guesses to countless riddles it creates.It offers an abundance of topics for learning and reflection. The city of Ek Balam is not as well known among tourists, so in search of answers to questions that have accumulated after visiting Chichen Itza, I decided to explore the mysterious ruins of Ek Balam.

Mayan Pyramid in the Chichen Itza

 While vacationing in Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula, one can not resist the desire to see the ruins of the ancient Mayan civilization. There are many similar ancient cities in Mexico, but Chichen Itza is the only one accepted as one of the new seven wonders of the world.
