To Do

I’d like to ponder one of the most famous works of art of all time.

Updated June 22, 2009 Cities all have their own personalities and appearances, but I don’t think anyone can argue that just about any city is at its most beautiful at night. Dingy buildings and cracked sidewalks fade and soft lights illuminate plants and buildings in a gentle glow. Browse through these pictures and tell me […]

Updated February 28, 2010 I think I’m a fan of the Taj Mahal because it was built for love. What a love that must have been to inspire such a graceful and beautiful building. I’d like to stand in its presence and just appreciate it, thinking about how wonderful it is to live in a […]

Updated November 6, 2009 As weird as it seems for a girl who grew up on the East Coast, I’ve never even been to Vermont, let alone going in the fall to see the beautiful leaves. I guess Vermont has quite a reputation for beautiful fall foliage, and it’s probably true if they have a […]

Updated February 21, 2010 Unusual and Unique Hotels of the World unfortunately doesn’t list any pyramid hotels among their offerings. I’m not admitting defeat – there’s surely someone somewhere who will let you spend the night in a pyramid. I won’t even require a comfortable bed, as I suspect I’d be unable to get much […]

It’s an entire days’ worth of exploring to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

Updated June 8, 2009 If I’m going to climb the cone of  a volcano, I’d like it to be a volcano in a really exotic and beautiful place. Nicaragua has some volcanoes ideal for climbing, but I’m a little nervous about visiting politically unstable countries. There are some intriguing reports from people who’ve climbed Pacaya […]

The biosphere was built and the experiments began while I was an environmental studies major. I thought it was a fascinating project.
