place of the day, 10/29/2019, Lalibela Ethiopia
Lalibela, Ethiopia...this town has several churches carved, nay hewn from solid Rock. They are monoliths! How cool would it be to see it for yourself! Good site: https://www.bigworldsmallpockets.com/lalibela-ethiopia/

place of the day 10/25/2019 Angel Falls Venezuela
Angel Falls (Paradise Falls, if you're fans of the movie, UP). It's isolated, it requires a organized tour, and it's in Venezuela 😬 Good site: https://www.gadventures.com/blog/trekking-angel-falls-in-venezuela/
place of the day, 10/26/2019 Big Bend
Big Bend National Park, Texas! It's also the most southern (for USA) certified dark sky site. Apparently you can see several planets and most of the southern Cross. Ah, someday, I will see the milky way in the sky! Good site: https://visitbigbend.com/category/bb-national-park/

Place of the day! 10/24/2019 Nome Alaska
Nome Alaska. One word...Iditarod. Almost 1200 miles of mountain ranges, frozen rivers, dense forests, desolate tundra and windswept coastline. I don't have to do the race. I do want to be in the presence of those magnificent creatures, the dogs!! I have always wondered how it goes for the dogs in this race. Here is the other side
