This Week’s Travelers

Tui Snider presents Are you going to Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, Texas? posted right here at Mental Mosaic: Even Home is a Travel Destination, saying,

“Have you ever been to a historical reenactment? Sure, going to a Ren Fair is silly, geeky fun, but – to me – it’s like visiting a dynamic, hands on museum. Here is a photo essay from one of my trips to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, Texas.”

Byteful Travel presents Red Rock Canyon Review: 3 Unmissable Sights posted at Byteful Travel, saying,

“Before I visited Las Vegas, I thought that the red rocks I’d seen in Denver were the most alien landscape I’d ever seen. But when I visited Red Rock Canyon on the outskirts of Las Vegas, I stood corrected. Because this place is basically *Martian*. Beautiful & Martian. Don’t believe me? By the end of this article, you will.”

Pamela Jorrick presents Tidepools, Bridges and Locks posted at Blah, Blah, Blog, saying,

“Seattle is a city where we could have easily spent a lot more time than we had…There is so much to see and do- and much of it is free or cheap which is exactly the way we like to roll whenever possible… I’m a tropics kind of gal, and it was way too chilly for me to head out on any boats, which would be fun in some other, warmer season. Still, there was plenty of other fun to be had near the water.”
