Day 213

Ocean City, Maryland

With the performances that Michael Phelps put up today… I have to honour his home state of Maryland with a visit (I also need it to complete my 50 states!). I just love a good beach boardwalk!

Day 212

Day 212 – Mundesley, England

I’ve spent most of my afternoon keeping tabs on the men’s gymnastics coverage and I was so happy to see Great Britain medal. I love seeing the host country getting the hardware! So in honour of that, I’m going back to England, and to a place in Norfolk that I would love to visit (and yay, beach! :P)

Day 210

Day 210 – Antwerp, Belgium

Since the first Olympic flag was presented to the IOC at the 1920 Summer Olympics by the city of Antwerp, I thought it appropriate to start my Olympics postings with a visit to this particular city. :]

Day 209

Day 209 – Olympic Stadium, London, England

So, since a little event called the Olympics starts in a few hours… I have decided to make all my posts for the next couple of weeks in the spirit of the games. Posts won’t only feature places in the UK, but also be inspired by the athletes and of stories and things I hear. I want to continue to make the places featured in this blog as widespread as possible, after all. :]

However, since the opening ceremonies are today, I think it’s only fitting that I feature the Olympic Stadium as my destination for today. This picture was taken during a rehearsal for the ceremonies!

Day 208

Day 208 – Stratford-upon-Avon, England

Typical destination as it may be… I want to go so badly! And not just for the Shakespeare things, either.

Day 207

Day 207 – Rayne, Louisiana

Apparently, this city is the “Frog Capital of the World”. I have a major obsession with frogs. Therefore, I have to visit here, full stop.

Day 206

Day 206 – Christmas Island (Kiritimati), Kiribati

Because I think visiting a coral atoll would be so awesome and this one happns to be near the Inernational Date Line. Which also exictes me, being the geography nerd that I am!

Day 205

Day 205 – Bainbridge Island, Washington

I didn’t get a chance to go across when I was in Seattle a couple of years ago, and I really wish that I had had the time to do so!

Day 204

Day 204 – Walvis Bay, Namibia

It’s been a long time since I featured a place from Africa… And wouldn’t seeing a group of flamingos from where you’re eating at a restaurant be so cool? I certainly think so!
