From other Blogs...

Some interesting articles I read this past week:

For my dad, who will be visiting Paris, Intelligent Travel has an article on Parisian Markets. There is something for everyone, and hopefully he will find that perfect something and tell me all about it!

Smarter Travel has two articles on cultural vacations, Ten Great Cultural Travel Bargains and The Best Websites for Planning Cultural Vacations.

Neil Woodburn at Gadling writes about the living paintings at the Pageant of the Masters, where performers in Laguna Beach replicate famous paintings through the month of August. I think this is a great idea, and I wish I could see it.

Rick Steves reflects on three decades of travel in an interview at World Hum.

Ian at Brave New Traveler is helping his friend, Sean Aiken, by filming episodes of Sean's experiences working one week jobs.

Read about visiting McCarthy and Kennicott on Angie's blog, Alaskan Explorer. They are definitely on my list of places to see.
