Wanderlust Wednesday: Princeton, New Jersey!

I promised a Wednesday of Wanderlust-ing and here it is! Today we are staying fairly local… Princeton, New Jersey! Princeton is a college town, with plenty of old architecture, beautiful boutiques, great restaurants, and tons of books stores! A few years ago my friend Sarah and I went for the day to just walk around and admire all the old buildings and spend a day in the beautiful sunshine!

The green arrow is showing where Princeton is in regards to the surrounding area.

I believe this is an auditorium or lecture hall.

              The architecture around the town is just beautiful and well worth the trip! Doing this post reminds me that I need to go back one of these days... 

             Tomorrow's Throwback Thursday will be taking every back quite a few years so pack a bag because we're going time-traveling (no, not in a TARDIS! *wink*)!!

Blessings!

Wanderlust Wednesday: Madagascar!

        My family a few years back had a sudden urge to go to Madagascar. Maybe we watched a PBS special or something, I don't know, but we never made it. Probably because of the price of airfare, hotel, etc. But anyway, here are some beautiful pictures of the lovely Madagascar!

In case you don't know where Madagascar is.

Look at that stretch of beach!

Baobab trees

Ready for a trek in the jungle?

Look at the view inland!

Ring-tailed Lemurs

A Yellow-Bellied Sunbird

Madagascar Gecko, isn't he cute?

A Fossa, a relative of the mongoose, living only in Madagascar. Adorable face, huh?

       

         What do you think? Beautiful place right? I'll go one of these days! Next week, we'll go somewhere in the United States. Maybe it will be close enough for you to visit!

Blessings,

Wanderlust Wednesday: LONDON!!!

        It's time for a Wednesday of Wanderlust-ing! I yearn for travel! See new places, explore old building, meet interesting people, learn about new cultures!

        Today's destination is probably my top city in my top country... OF ALL TIME!!!! People just don't understand how much I want, no, need to travel to the United Kingdom, Great Britain, etc. But today I'm focusing on LONDON!!! Beautiful city! The buildings, the history, the museums, the River Thames, etc. The pictures will draw you in... at least they better.



A London street with autumn leaves...

Westminster Abbey

Big Ben and The River Thames

The Sherlock Holmes Museum!

Inside the Natural History Museum in London, UK

London Bridge

Palace of Westminster covered in snow and ice!

The "London Eye" Christmas time?

Maybe I can catch a glimpse of Her Royal Highness through a window at Buckingham Palace!

Care for a stroll, my dears?



Snow!

A mist falls over London...

      I think we've covered the main highlights... Of course, pictures, although wonderful, are not the same thing. The smell of bakeries and cafes with pastries and tea while walking by the Thames to visit Big Ben..... Stopping at Baker Street for a quick cup of tea with Mrs. Hudson, John, and the great man himself, Sherlock Holmes! Wandering around and perhaps finding a blue telephone box..... Aaahhhhhhh..... *entering dreamy stage* I will go one day! But until then, I will be content with pictures!

       I hope you enjoyed taking a quick peak at this beautiful, fascinating city with me... next week... it's a surprise!

Blessings!
