Suzy Stumbles Over Travel: Week of November 21, 2011

By

After a quick trip down to Arkansas, I bring you this week’s Suzy Stumbles Over Travel. In case you are new here, each week I ask writers and readers to submit their favorite travel posts of the week. I read each submission, comment, stumble the piece using Stumbleupon, tweet the article on Twitter and place a link to the post on my Facebook page. The following week I select my five favorites to be featured here and the stumbling begins again into the next week.

Just a few things to keep in mind, please only submit one post per person each week. The article should be travel related. Leave your submission in the comment box below rather than sending it to me on Twitter, Facebook, etc. You have until the end of the day on Friday to leave your submission. Be sure to follow me on Twitter, subscribe to my stumbles on Stumbleupon and “like” me on Facebook to make sure I give your post the attention it deserves.

 

The 5 Favorites of Last Week

“Whale Watching in Iceland—Incredible!” From Don’t Ever Look Back

The traveling duo at Don’t Ever Look Back brave the cold to go whale watching just off the coast of southwestern Iceland. From white-beaked dolphins to blue whales, the trip proves successful. It’s not everyday you see the largest known mammal to have ever existed.

“What To Do in Havana, Cuba” From the Style Hi Club

Submitted by Chandra

Chandra provides a look at things to see and do while in Havana, Cuba, even if some of us still are under an embargo to not explore the island nation. From the Tropicana to the spot where the daiquiri was born, Chandra shares some enticing reasons to visit Havana.

“Goats on Motorcycles & Sheep in Trunks: Images from our First Turkish Bayram” From Ramble Crunch

Submitted by Renee

Renee stumbles upon the Festival of Sacrifice while in Turkey, when Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son is celebrated with locals’ own lamb sacrifice. She wanders around the ongoing traditions of the Bayram event, one that has been upheld for centuries.

“Oh Little Town of Bethlehem: Photos of the Palestine Wall” From Traveling Liz

Submitted by Liz

Liz explores the Palestine Wall in Bethlehem. Decorated with political art and commentary, the wall stands between Palestine and Israel. Liz’s observations and photographs remind travelers of how these places of separation like the Peace Line in Belfast or the Berlin Wall can be a way for artists to express the troubles of the times and perhaps elicit action.

“Friday Night Around the World” From The Spokesman-Review

Submitted by Cheryl-Anne

Cheryl-Anne spends one last day in Zurich, Switzerland, trolling the cobblestoned streets and popping in a museum or two. As she makes her way back to her hotel, she notices a powerful commonality in regards to the emotions of Friday nights around the world.
