Atlanta Things To Do
Atlanta: Youth Leading the Blind at The Carter Center Youth Leading the Blind at The Carter Center by littlesam1
I have already written two tips about The Carter Center, but felt this statue from the gardens a the Center deserved its own individual tip. It is an emotionally moving piece of art within the gardens. The statue depicts a young boy leading an older blind person by carrying a stick between them. There are some notes written about the statue on a plaque which tells about the Carters visiting Africa and seeing similar scenes over and over with... [read more]
Hilo Things To Do
Hilo: Waipi'o Valley Waipi'o Valley by KiKitC
We finally made it to Waipi'o Valley. Just continue up 19 north out of Hilo and follow the signs. This is probably one of the most beautiful spots on our whole trip. The view from the scenic overlook is just enough to make you never want to leave. This offers the quintessential photo for everyone's Hawai'i scrapbook.

The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.
