Seems almost impossible to believe but this waterfall wasn't discovered until the early 50s. Definitely going on my must-see list.

one of my bucket list

They have glass coffee tables that allow you to see right through to the ocean. Bet they're not big on coffee table books.

For those of you who will be using your own plane to fly here, the local airport is happy to welcome all guests of the Shangri-la. And no, I'm not kidding.

This was built in 1925 and remains a lovely, scenic place for a ceremony. Plan carefully, though; they only allow wedding during certain parts of the year.

This is a hike on the coast of Kauai. Starts on the north side of the island ad It is absolutely beautiful! It's about 11 miles and ends at a private beach. I highly suggest this!

Somewhere I have always wanted to go...

We had beautiful weather

Mesa Verde National Park is a U.S. National Park created in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt in order to protect some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the world. Inscribed in 1978, it is one of the 21 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the United States.

I just went to Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico, and Mesa Verde looks even cooler.

A great experience

Hermosa vista de Los Angeles!

Personally, I think you kinda-sorta have to be out of your mind to do this. Long story short this was originally constructed at the turn of the century and was used for the first time in 1905. It was built so workers could traverse the area. There's now a sign here saying it's really, really unsafe Personally, I think you kinda-sorta have to be out of your mind to do this.

Of all the hikes on my hikes page this is the one I'd most like to do, although it's more trek than hike. This is a functioning monastery that's about 500 years old. Amazing.

The trail that leads you past this is hugely popular attracting thousands of visitors a year. While you may not get peace and quiet here the scenery is clearly pretty amazing.

In the 14th century, this city in the South of France was the seat of the papacy. The Palais des Papes, an austere-looking fortress lavishly decorated by Simone Martini and Matteo Giovanetti, dominates the city, the surrounding ramparts and the remains of a 12th-century bridge over the Rhone.

Beneath this outstanding example of Gothic architecture, the Petit Palais and the Romanesque Cathedral of Notre-Dame-des-Doms complete an exceptional group of monuments that testify to the leading role played by Avignon in 14th-century Christian Europe.

OK, it's a scene, but it's still fun.

I'm DESPERATE to see this! These caves are built into the caves and have incredible frescoes.

Look familiar? It was used in Indiana Jones, not to mention a bunch of other movies.

Love the lines of this and how it looks completely different depending on angle. It's actually located pretty deep in the woods which somehow makes it even more mysterious.

This church was built from volcanic rock in the 12th century. Amazingly, it's one of 11 built and connected by a series of passageways.

Wow! This looks like where the Jetsons would have gone to college!

There's a biiiiiiiig crack in this rock that was caused by seismic activity. Think I'll stay away from that part!

Cool
