Sunday Special – Boryeong Mud Festival, South Korea
I thought it fun today to feature a festival. I did a quick search and low and behold I found a mud festival. Playing in mud would be so much fun! And probably great for the skin. Ends up that the Boryeong Mud Festival was, in fact, started by its use in cosmetics. Instead of…

Sunday Special – The Equator, Ecuador
Remember geography class where you learned about the (imaginary)line of the equator? It splits the earth right in half into north and south and the magnetic pulls cause water to drain in opposing directions.

Sunday Special – Rock Garden of Chandigarh, India
While in India, D and I were told that we should see the Rock Garden of Chandigarh. When I first heard of it I immediately thought of a flower-related rock garden since that is what is in my mom’s front yard. This rock garden is nothing of the sort. Rather, it is a very cool…

Sunday Special – Lake Arenal, Costa Rica
I featured Costa Rica over 2 years ago on this blog, however it was a general post. Today is specifically for Lake Arenal which is located in the northern area of this Central American country.
