Veronica writes of this visit to the shores of the Black Sea in Romania, "Besides freezing cold water, there are red flags, so I can only dip my toes in. But the large presence of beach clubs tells me that this place is a seriously fun boardwalk in the hot summer months. Pizza and Ice stands every few meters!
I haven't 100% identified the species of trees growing but they are neat. perfect for kids climbing all over--which mine did!
You also see large cargo ships all day long traverse the seas. Wind turbines, and latge processing plants are to the north on the coast. A reminder of all the natural resources around this area." Comments | Permalink Travel: Seashells in Romania

Veronica writes, "Who doesnt love looking for seashells. Along the beach here I saw more conch shells than I've ever seen off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico! Just shows what different marine life is in this water." Comments | Permalink Travel: Jacks Knob Trail

Jacks Knob Trail leads to Brasstown Bald, the highest point in the state of Georgia. It is located in the northeastern part of the state in the Blue Ridge Mountains. On the day Graham visited, the Bald was enveloped in dense clouds, but Wikipedia says that "On a clear day it is possible to see the tallest buildings of Atlanta, some 85 miles away from the summit."
