Photo Friday: Niagara SkyWheel
The Niagara SkyWheel (map) is one of the newest attractions to be added on Clifton Hill, and it seems like all the cool tourist cities are adding one of these giant wheels these days.
The view from this ferris wheel is pretty much unprecedented, as not only do you have a great view of Niagara Falls, you have a pretty great view of the entire Niagara Region. And if you time your ride correctly, you might be able to get up on the SkyWheel during the fireworks that take place every weekend in the...

The Punahou Carnival
If it is February, then it is time for The Punahou Carnival. Much more than a school fair, this carnival has been a vital element in the lives of Hawai’i residents since the mid nineteen-thirties, a shared memory among every generation. Honolulu residents sniff the air in anticipation of the smell of hot malasadas, Portuguese bean soup, teri burgers sizzling on an open grill, the tang of freshly spun cotton candy, the simple joy of melted butter about to be splashed on fresh corn on the cob or...
