I want to do the waterfall canyon and drive up all the volcanoes. It looks incredible!

N African inspired food, maybe a ferry to Tunisia! Vinegar and vegetables, arid coast, amazing. I want to go.

Like a big small town, Western influences are burned and rejected here. I remember the festivals for the feast of Independance, the wet mornings. I lived here for 2 months working with The Missionaries of Charity. It was one of the most significant, moving, peaceful, joyful experiences of my life. Anyone can do it, if you are interested, just go to the Mother House and sign up, and you’ll never regret it. There are no restrictions, you can volunteer for a day or a year. I would go back in an instant, since I really did not get to see much of the city, just the homes I was working in, which made it a concentrated, intense experience.

Green hills everywhere. Tea feilds, mist covered mountains, elephants, streams, jasmine, humid. An intersection of Communism, Hinduism, and Catholicism, bright colors everywhere, prayers come out of the hills. Read The God of Small Things to get an impression.

The red Agra Fort was my favorite. Sitting on the water it is a maze of arches and hallways and courtyards. I almost would love to live there, even though it was essentially prison as the story goes.

The Adriatic is a blue that no camera that I’ve seen has been able to capture. Deep, rich, royal blue, bright and salty. My favorite water I have ever swam in. Warm and wonderful. I drove up the coast from Dubrovnik to Rijeka which I would reccommend to anyone. Amazing views, and people stopping off at the side of the road to climb down and swim.

While the picture here from flickr is way off and not the right location, The Point in Chicago is a wonderful park jutting out into Lake Michigan. Everyone barbeques, swims, walks along the lake.

This is my favorite place in England. The cliffs are so majestic, moving. The ruins fantastic.

Is the best part of LA. Then is Venice, Topanga Canyon, and Mr Pizza.

I was fascinated by the catacombs, the walls of Vatican City, and the square. The Vatican Museum oddly felt like a series of storage rooms and the Sistine Chapel did not move me as expected. Really, it was the environment of the square, the pure motivations of the place which makes it a singular experience.
