A Look at Virginia’s Natural Bridge State Park

Natural Bridge State Park in Virginia is centered around a giant and beautiful natural bridge limestone landform that has been carved out by Cedar Creek over millions of years.  This was once considered one of the great natural wonders of the Americas, and one that tourists have flocked to for centuries.  We visited Virginia’s newest state park on our drive up north from the Carolinas.  I can honestly say that in real life, it really is so much more impressive than any picture can ever convey. I mean, look at those tiny trees up top!

Slovenia’s Ljubljana Dragon – Where Dragons are Part of History

There are several little corners in Europe where myth and reality are so intertwined that the lines between them are wonderfully blurred.   Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is one such place. Here dragons (or rather, the Ljubljana Dragon) play into history as much as any other sobering realities.  The result is a magical, fantastical, and charming place.
