Happy Friday! National Geographic's Drives of a Lifetime

From one of my favorite magazines, Natty Geo Traveler, I want to present an older article called Drives of a Lifetime. There are some really awesome driving trips in there - Cascade Lakes and Mount Hood in Oregon, Italy's Amalfi Coast, Vermont's Cheese Trail, Provence in France, and on and on. I love these lists. Happy Friday!

National Geographic: Octopuses Are Cool

Two videos about octopuses that I saw on National Geographic's website today impressed me. They are both borderline weekend comedy type videos but they are interesting enough that I wanted to share here:

Scotland's Hebrides

In the same vein as my Western Australia wanderlust, I present to you a kickass series of National Geographic photos of Scotland's Hebrides islands. I haven't been to the upper highlands or the islands around Scotland, but this looks amazing. Even a basic Google Image search for 'Hebrides Scotland' turns up amazing photos. What's the most photogenic scenery you've been to, and how does this compare?
