Volcano Things To Do
Volcano: Kilauea Crater from Ground Zero Kilauea Crater from Ground Zero by KiKitC
It's humbling. Makes you feel small. We had the opportunity to fly over the Kilauea Crater in the helicopter, it looked big then, but here, in Volcanos National Park, how close do you want to get? We got our first up-close look at the crater from the area marked for the "Steam Vents." It's a beautiful view point. There are hiking trails for all athletic capabilities, except those of us with pins through their knuckles. Also a great "Kodak... [read more]
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.

Thanks Sue; and congratulations Francesca and Lorenzo.



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.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the Community News Archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
