OMG I just remembered!!!

It's Wednesday!!!! That means I can reinstate Wednesday Wish You Were Here!!!!!!!

This week....

The Bodleian Library in Oxford England!!!!

This is what every library in the world should strive to look like! The interior boasts warm dark wood and walls covered in bookshelves.

I refuse to be normal

Today is the middle of the week and I wish I was in ... Tel Aviv!!!!! It's the party center of Israel and I WOULD be going there this summer, but I don't have no money:(

song of the day:

Jerusalem - Matisyahu

Wednesday Wish You Were Here

Let's talk about Washington State. What is in WA you may ask? Well, for those Twilight geeks out there, we all know that it is riddled with sexy vampires. Some others of us may know Washington for those big Redwoods they have going for them, but that's not all to Washington.

Toppenish, Washington showcases the Yakama Nation Cultural Heritage Center. There you will be able to learn about the Yakama Indian. This is also one of the oldest museums dedicated to a Native American tribe.










There is Mount St. Helens... the Famous volcano. It exploded in 1980 leaving that massive hole in the middle of it. It is also hugely active still, its last explosion was July 10, 2008.

In which I sleep late because of the common cold.

Maybe I should take vitamins. At least this cold is just a sore throat, nothing that won't be cured by gargling peroxide (my dad's idea) and taking Aleve. I just hate to take vitamins! You can't have them on an empty stomach or nausea of the worst kind sets in. Maybe those gummy ones for kids... anyway while I was in bed contemplating the ceiling I thought of all of those spa towns that are so popular in Switzerland and decided that would be the destination for Wednesday Wish You Were Here.

The Spa town I chose is Baden, Switzerland. It has everything, hot sulfur springs, roman ruins, and a picturesque ruined castle!

(BTW I find all of the images for Wednesday Wish You Were Here on Flikr)

Wednesday Wish You Were Here

YAY!!! It's that time of the week! And because I'm on Spring Break I have decided to have an Island theme Wednesday Wish You Were Here. Ah, but not the same ole' same ole' Bahamas or Caribbean Islands, I'm talking about the Golden Islands of Georgia!!!
The Golden Islands of Georgia have long been the retreats of the rich and elite. According to the font of all knowlege, Wikipedia, Sea Island hosted the G8 summit. But my favorite island has to be Cumberland Island.
It is actually not truly a part of the Golden Islands but, I mean, it's right there. Anyway, Cumberland Island is a national park and has a set limit on the number of people allowed to visit each day. The coolest part about Cumberland Island, in my opinion, is the wild horses. These horses were shipwrecked by the Spanish in the 16th century or so, when Florida was still a Spanish Colony. The horses on the ship managed to swim to Cumberland Island and their survivors are there to this day.
The island has a visitor limit of 300 people a day, you can rent a bicycle to tour the island but beware, there are no paved roads.

So... Hump Day

*Sigh* It's the middle of the week and my only REAL day off, so I think I should start having something special on Hump Day. I couldn't really decide what it should be; a weekly photograph? a video? a movie I'd recommend?
Finally I decided, because it's the middle of the work week and we would all rather be somewhere else, why not a "Wednesday Wish You Were Here"! Every Wednesday I will pick a destination, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes exotic, sometimes...not, but always somewhere you would rather be that at work/school.

For the first ever Wednesday Wish You Were Here, I have picked.... ITALY!!!! Tuscany to be more precise. This is mostly because I have been reading Bella Tuscany and Under Tuscan Sun by Francis Meyes. I love her descriptions of her house and the Italian countryside!
Here are some pics for your enjoyment!!!

Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!!!!
