The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea, Border of Israel and Jordan

I just heard that the Dead Sea is in danger as almost all of its water source, the Jordan River, is being diverted for irrigation. It's disappearing rapidly and there's talk of pumping in water from, I think, the Red Sea. Anyways, I love the idea of healing waters and crazy stuff like that, and this place has been all the rage in alternative medicines since biblical times. Plus, it'd be pretty sweet to read the paper floating around.

Ibirapuera Auditorium

Ibirapuera Auditorium, Sao Paulo, Brazil

This crazy looking building is in Ibirapuera Park, which is an enormous park in an enormous city... think of NYC's Central Park, only the park is bigger, and the city is bigger. I tried to find out who was playing here sometime soon, but all the websites are in Portuguese. Brazilians sure are smart, I mean they can speak a whole other language!

Stone Circles of Senegambia

Stone Circles of Senegambia, around Janjanbureh, Gambia

It's good luck to put small stones on these larger stones arranged in circles, thousands of them, in Senegal and Gambia. Other global landmarks might seem a bit more impressive, but none look so much like turds. Giant turds that give good luck... you cannot beat that.
