馃 Azores: Between Beach & Mountain by oceanbee@oceanbee

Most of the island has a rocky shore line, no wonder considering the volcanic nature of the Azores. Personally, I find rocky coastlines gorgeous but, of course, every now and then it鈥檚 also nice to be able to actually get into the water, right? Anyways, we found a beach, now what about the waterfall? We also found one of those buuuut - we didn鈥檛 get close to it. Here you can see it in this photo. Or - can you? The view was absolutely gorgeous. The mountains, shoreline and ocean in the distance.

馃 North Platte Nebraska and Cody Park Railroad Museum by bozz@bozz

It turns out North Platte is a pretty big hub for rail travel in the country, so it has a pretty long and storied railway history. There is a tower called the "Golden Spike Tower" that pays homage to some of this legacy. I thought about visiting thinking it was the location where the actual golden spike was driven into the ground connecting the two railways, but it turns out, that is somewhere in Utah or something like that. Instead, I took us to a local park to drive around and look at the sights.

馃 A trip to Dirleton Castle, East Lothian, in Scotland by hoosie@hoosie

The castle saw action in the wars between the Scottish and the English (which would have been sometime around the 13th century). It also played a part in the English civil war much later (17th century) when it was attacked by Oliver Cromwell - which explains some of its current condition.
