Places I want to go to before I die~ Lugares a donde quiero viajar antes de morirme
Not in any particular order
*Hong Kong. I have always been fascinated by this city that seems to be the "New York of Asia." Old and new rolled into one city.
*Southeast Asia (Okay, So I'm cheating a bit, but I think that I could bundle all of them in one trip). Every time I see something on TV about any of these places I just can't stop day dreaming about the day when I will make it there. I never thought about these places as a place where I would want to go to visit (you always think Italy, or Australia, etc) But EVERY single time I see smtg on tv I just become mesmerized. On top of it, two of my high school best friends made it here a couple of years ago, making me feel so very jealous!!
Vietnam
Siem Reap- Cambodia
Phuket- Thailand
Kuala Lumpur
*Lisbon. I grew up listening to my dad talk about this city, and how beautiful it is. I have never been there, even though it is a mere 6 hour drive from Madrid. I am planning to make it in one of my trips home.
*Prague. some years ago I read a story at a magazine about this city, and ever since I have been dying to travel there. It just seems such a mysterious and romantic city! Who wouldn't want to visit somewhere like that?
*Vienna. Who wouldn't want to go to waltz thru the streets of this city?? Okay, so maybe I wouldn't actually do that. But it would be cool! (Has anyone seen the movies of Empress Sissy??)
*Egypt. A given, right? The land of the Pharaohs. The amount of history in this country is just overwhelming. And the fact that it will be safer to travel there, has to be an added plus. Hopefully it's true and all the political commotion stops so that we can go there someday
*India. My uncle traveled here when I was a kid, and had a gazillion of pictures. The colors of the women's saris, the silk, the spices, and the food!! Yum!
*Machu Pichu. I have heard that this Inca siteis absolutely breathtaking and something almost from another world...
*Dubai and Abu Dhabi. So growing up you think middle east and the last thing that comes to mind was 21st century city...These two cities are the new middle east.
*Jerusalem. The city that is "Three times holy" No only would I love to be able to visit the land of Christ. Literally walked where he walked, see what he saw, smell what he smelled, but also visit the sites that Muslims, and Jews consider Holy.
*Greek Islands. This is my "bonus" place...
So these are probably my top ten.
What are yours???

Hot hot spring
Ok, so let me preface this by saying that I am glad not to have to worry if it's going to snow in the middle of June anymore (though let it be clear that there are a million things I miss about Utah, the weather, not being one of them)...HOWEVER , the heat in this state, might be more than what my sanity can take at times! It is SO HOT and it has been since pretty much end of April. I am glad that we have had some sort of break this last week (some cool nice mid-70's throughout the week) but taking 100 degree weather on almost 100% humidity is just too much. And then you factor a very hyper child that just wants to be outdoors and you have either a very sweaty and miserable mother, or a very unhappy claustrophobic, but fresh-cool toddler. Our activities the last month have been refrained to water fountains in malls, pools, or just parks at very early in the morning (before it is impossibly hot at 10 am)
Antes de empezar quiero dejar claro que me alegra estar en un lugar donde no tenga que preocuparme de si va a nevar a mediados de junio (como en Utah- que para que quede claro, echo de menos muchas cosas de Utah, pero el clima no es una de ellas)PERO el calorazo que hace en Virginia tal vez sea mas de lo que pueda aguantar. Que calor que hace!! Y lleva haciendo este calor incansable desde abril. Me alegro de que por lo menos esta semana haya hecho algo mas de fresquito( 20 y pico grados) Pero esque los casi 40 grados de calor humedo a mas no poder es demasiado para mi cordura. Y si a eso le sumas una niña hiperactiva que lo unico que quiere hacer es salir a la calle pues te encuentras o bien con una madre sudando como una cerda y miserable, o una hija claustrofobica-histerica pero fresquita. Asi que a lo que nos hemos dedicado este mes pasado han sido actividades relacionadas con agua de alguna manera u otra. Fuentes en centros comerciales, piscinas, o columpios demasiado temprano por la mañana, antes de que el sol te derrita a las diez.
