played gladiator

you can stand quietly and hear the lions roar.

Would love to go back though!!!

Breathtaking..

wait every hour when it blinks !

Working on going there next year.

The Pont du Gard was built shortly before the Christian era to allow the aqueduct of Nîmes (which is almost 50 km long) to cross the Gard river.

One of 37 World Heritage Sites in France!… see moresee less

Last time i was here saw dueling brass brands on one of the street corners. It's a "locals" area with lot's of live music venues.

can't wait to go back again this year

Bourbon St. is the best. I spent my 18th and 21st birthday's there!!!!!

We rented bicycles and cruised the neighborhoods on both sides of the Arno. Enjoyed a gorgeous sunset view of the Ponte Vecchio while picnicking on the banks of the river.

Would love to try this pool made out of a 10,000 year old crater!

white frost fairy tale place

The castle that inspired Walt Disney to use it as a model for Cinderella's castle.

This is the Disney Castle for real! Spectacular castle.

See the changing of the guard if you can. It's pretty neat :)

Of course the changing of the guards

.

amaze

One of the places that visit most during my part-time work in NY.

heck yeah...

Can't wait to go back!

Celebrated New Years in the City of Lights

incred

We went to the Empire State Building late at night (maybe 11 or 11:30). We walked down after we saw Jersey Boys. It was perfect because there were no lines....but you could see all the ropes for the queues, and they went on forever!!

I enjoyed it. I see all of my repeated attempts at recommendations have now shown up. Wish I could remove them.

The doors of the Duomo.

Firenze, my love.

Where Mom used to live

Ponte Vecchio

Been here in 1998 with sis, Glo. I think it is one of the most beautfiul gardens in the world. Ah, the floral prints were just amazing!

Interestingly enough they have a DNA research department here that is frequently contacted by the police for help with solving crimes. In a very famous case, Kew was able to discern what food a torso found in the Thames had consumed.

I was there in 1997. I'm wondering if the botanical prints by Shirley Sherwood collection (I believe) are still exhibited there?

Go when there is mass. It's free to get in!

Remember it all black before it was cleaned

I loved England and found this place fascinating All those tombs of "important" characters!

enjoyed the architecture and construction. Kids enjoyed doing the "rubbings". They still have them framed in their homes.

Lots of small spaces where famous people are remembered, then it opens to the large open space in the photo.

favorite part of my trip into westminster

Met some Swedish Harry Potter-heads here who didn't speak English. Still became friends.

If you are Happy Potter fan, you must enjoy 9 3/4 platform here.

Amazing to think that the Regent paid for the construction of these buildings in the mid-1770s in part with a tax on the Colonies, including levies on things like tea. And in response, some guys in Boston took offense to that and threw a party.

wanna go there again

the best street in the world for its Xmas lights displays

this sounds great, I'm adding it to the list.. thank you!!

They also have a room filled with full-scale models of dozens of famous sculptures from around the world, Michelangelo's David, Trajan's Column in Rome, etc. Definitely worth checking out.

Not sure if I added the right V&A. The one I'm recommending is the V&A Museum in S. Kensington. Just rediscovered the place on my last trip back to London -- a temple to human creativity and ingenuity -- from giant, ancient religious sculpture to contemporary fashion and jewellery.

I can see how attacking soldiers would just slide right back down that hill! The rock this is on is actually an old volcano!

Always fun to be a kid

I love Disney World. It's one of my favorite places to vacation.

Went in the 1960"s.

Everyone should go.

If you can, try to get a tour of Lucas FIlms here. It's where all the magic is made.

get down to the water near Presidio and Chrissy Field (grass field right on the water--any taxi driver will know it). Walk as far as you want from there towards Golden Gate Bridge. on the dirt path near the water. Food and 'services' close to the bridge.

Buckingham Palace

BuckPal to see Brenda...MI5's nickname for the Queen...

Beecher's cheese shop next to the first Starbucks is a must! It's right along the market.

First time in Seattle? You gotta see the flying fish!

Believed to be the street that Jesus walked with his cross. Seriously? Gotta go...
