Vacation Dreams:
Since I am not taking a vacation this summer (though DC is awesome, and I really can't complain too much), I have been fantasizing about traveling. So I am passing this on to those of you who are actually planning vacations, or those of us who are just dreaming about it while sitting at our desks (maybe start planning for next year or so?)
My godmother just informed that World Heritage sites are amazing places to visit, and whenever you see the designation on a map, it is worth making the trip. There are 788 sites all over the world that have this designation.
Secondly, my friend Scott is leaving today to go Fairbanks. From there, he will travel to Deadhorse, from which he and a friend will drive non-stop to Key West, Florida in an attempt to break a world record. I just found that there is actually a news story about them! In any case, while this is not exactly my ideal vacation, Scott's excited, and apparently they are also doing it to raise awareness for the National Center for the Victims of Crime, so I'm going to keep you posted on his progress over the next weeks.
Update: Another vacation idea? Spain has authorized a nude protest of the running with the bulls next month, for all you unself-conscious activists!
