Our winners today 🍍

🥇 One of my favorite places: Las cumaraguas, paraguanera peninsula. by @marnaza

This is not my first time visiting the Cumaraguas but every time I am here it is an allergy because the truth is that the view is beautiful and it is as if it were the first time. The Cumaragua was a name given by the Caquetios Indians to this tea place, this name was given because of the intense pink foam that is formed to form the salt, here are the largest salt mines in the state of Falcon, and the best thing is that anyone who needs to get salt just bring the shovel and can get the salt

🥈 Almost Eaten by a Whale in Wachusset Cove, Alaska by @dtam

Imagine being on a small, 20ft inflatable boat, and having a whale the size of a city school bus come exploding out of the water right next to you. That is what happened today at Wachusset Cove, here in Southeast Alaska. From our anchorage at Iyoukeen Cove, we spotted a group of humpback whales over a mile out near the point of this long peninsula. This area is a hotspot for finding bubble net feeding humpback whales, so we put the normal morning plans on hold, in order for everyone to load up in our small boats and cruise out to find the whales....just in case it turned out to be a group of bubble netters. As with everything in Alaska, it was farther than it looked getting to the point. The landscapes are so vast, and the mountains so tall, that you lose all perspective of distance. When we finally did make it out to the point, the whales were nowhere to be seen. But not to be deterred, we kept driving, and driving, until eventually, we ended up at a totally different bay called Pavlof Harbor.

🥉 Roman Aqueduct used 1000 years ago to bring water to Caesarea an ancient city in Israel by @triplug

And for me this beginning of the week brings with it a long-awaited vacation so I am taking advantage of the last hours when I still have free time before my departure to share with you an amazing place, a place with an incredible history, a special architecture, yes today I will share with you the Roman Aqueduct in Caesarea National Park, Israel. As I have already written, traveling in Israel we have generally done by train, tram or bus depending on the area where we are going but believe me there are solutions for everything, alternatives to taxis which are more expensive.
