Napa, California and Palm Springs, California connect to our study of humanities because of what each city offers. Napa is the wine capitol, it is located in Northern California. Napa brings people together for weddings, wine tasting, touring the country side and getting in touch with nature. Palm Springs is well known for golfing resorts and great shopping. All are attractions for people to come together to enjoy themselves.

One thing our subjects had in common was that they were both California Beaches. No, the one thing is not really related to our class other than that the culture can be similar because of the close locations. Our one this is related to cultural context of this country.
