BeaV2: October 2010
http://beav2.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Be a Virtual Vacationer. Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Quick - where is Chan Chan located? If you guessed Peru, you are correct. Chan Chan is the largest mud city of the Americas and the world's largest adobe city. It was built by the Chimor civilization. The adobe bricks were covered by cement which was then carved into intricate (yet stylized) shapes. Unfortunately, Chan Chan is at risk of erosion (as one would guess of a city made of mud), so there is great effort underway to figure out how to preserve it.

Be a Virtual Vacationer. Tuesday, December 28, 2010. The islands kind of arc out from the southern tip of Japan and swing around nearly to Taiwan. In 1879, Japan decided that the Ryukyu Islands were theirs. China appealed to President Ulysses S. Grant to arbitrate the claim, and USG decided Japan's claim was stronger. Ryukyu has been a part of Japan since. Okinawa (above) and Yonaguni (below) are just two of these islands. According to Wikipedia, "An article in the 1878 edition of the. The city's archite...

Be a Virtual Vacationer. Sunday, October 2, 2011. Yes, it's a real place. And it's really in Greece. In fact, it's the highest mountain in Greece (and one of the highest in Europe). According to Wikipedia, the highest peak is Mytikas, meaning "nose" 9,570 ft). It played a major role in Greek mythology as the home of the gods (Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, hades, Demeter, Hestia, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Athena, Hermes, and Hephaestus.).

The Plot: The Plots Thicken - or - I Must Be Inasane
http://weedsinterrupted.blogspot.com/2010/07/plots-thicken-or-i-must-be-inasane.html
Tuesday, July 13, 2010. The Plots Thicken - or - I Must Be Inasane. I got T and M an extra lawn-mowing gig (fortunately just for the week) which, of course means that I got myself an extra yard job. Anyway, the block looks better. The other neighbors are grateful for a change of scenery and so are we. Hopefully, I can keep up with my yard (at my house - I mean where I live - not the other one - well that one too, Grrrr! Posted by Randomus maximus. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. The Caesarean Artic Willow. This process only needs to be repeated once every 2-3 days (or at least that's what it feels like.) B. Posted by Randomus maximus. Friday, June 18, 2010. 1 Project Down, 10,000 To Go. Loose-bowled birds, stealth wasps! I'm expecting a plague of locusts or frogs next. Perhaps I'll change the name of this blog to "Man vs. Wild.". Finally, as it shows in the 'before' shots, the flowerbed to the left of the door needed some attention. This worked out ...

BeaV2: August 2010
http://beav2.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Be a Virtual Vacationer. Monday, August 23, 2010. Welcome to the central-most park in Paris! It was one of the first to open to the public (1667) and has served as an exemplar for gardens across Europe. Catherine de Medicis, Queen of France, moved her household to the Louvre Palace after the death of her husband, Henry II. She decided to build a new palace for herself and her son (King Francois II), complete with a garden patterned after the gardens she'd known in her native Florence. Place de la Concorde.
