Happy Columbus Day. I hope everyone is enjoying the day off.
Columbus Day is a way of honoring the achievements of Christopher Columbus and celebrating Italian-American heritage. Columbus actually landed on the Bahamas in 1492. Even though we celebrate Columbus for discovering American, it's believed that Europeans and Chinese landed on American shores before Columbus.
