Cape Verde Islands

Join us at the crossroads of the Atlantic Ocean: the Cape Verde Islands. Find out why they became the crossroads, why so many famous visitors included a visit there on their itinerary. Meet the daring leaders who propelled it to independence. Meet those, too, who chose to emigrate to the United States. Read about the Cape Verdean contributions to the cranberry and blueberry industries and their influence on the whaling industry. And, that's not all! You'll have a chance to cook some Cape Verdean specialities and make a traditional pano (cotton cloths once used as currency). Be sure to come aboard and not miss this issue!
