Introduction

Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26 and I'll be presenting today's edition of #TravelDigest. We have some awesome stuff today. One takes us back to the sad history of Nagasaki, Japan, the other is a solo trip to Prague, Czech Republic, and the last takes us to a turquoise field in California, USA. The honorable mentions are awesome as well. I'd say it's a strong day for travel posts. Enjoy!

All featured posts are visible on the Editors Choice Map and upvoted by @pinmapple, @blocktrades, @theycallmedan and the curation trail. For more travel digests check out #traveldigest.

Our winners today 🍍

🥇 Beautiful town with a lot of sad history, Nagasaki, Japan (8 pics) by @karma-panorama

We took a three and a half hour train to Nagasaki, Japan. Upon arrival, we decide to take the tramway to see the memorial park and museum first. Sad reality shown in video at the beginning of the exposition, very well done, but very sad. The bomb is big, but not that big. Hard to imagine that this can cause so much damage.

🥈 A Date with Myself in Vyšehrad by @discoveringarni

It's the season of love. Valentine's Day is looming ahead and it makes one wonder how the pandemic will change the streets that were filled with beaming young ladies carrying bouquets, the appearance of huggable teddy bears that were silently perched on the shelves of the department store's children's section, while men made a beeline to the florist & cupcake shops.

🥉 Mineral Mondays #52 Turquoise by @rt395

Everyone knows of the gemstone turquoise. In the US it comes from Nevada, Arizona & New Mexico and is associated with Native Americans, but did you know California produces beautiful turquoise too? Turquoise has been used for millennia both in the America's by the Native Americans, but also in the Middle East, Iran, Turkey for which it is named after and most notably Egypt where it was mined as far back as 5000BC*, 7,000 years ago!
