One thats been done a lot and been on my radar for a good while.
La Crypte, a catacomb of underground graves in Belgium. A stealth approach if you want to visit these with no interruptions.
The impromptu 2 day tour with camerashy and host to France and Belgium, with some new places, a lot of travel with minimal sleep and some goals being accomplished by getting to a certain school.

Block Island is part of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 13 miles (21 km) south of the coast of Rhode Island, 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point on Long Island, and is separated from the Rhode Island mainland by Block Island Sound. The United States Census Bureau defines Block Island as Census Tract 415 of Washington County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census the population of 1,051 lived on a land area of 9.734 square miles (25.211 km2).[1] The island is part of the Outer Lands region, a coastal archipelago made by the recessional and terminal moraine that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat, about 22,000 years ago.[citation needed]
The Nature Conservancy added Block Island to its list of "The Last Great Places"; the list consists of twelve sites in the Western Hemisphere. About 40 percent of the island is set aside for conservation.[2] Presidents Bill Clinton,[3][4] Dwight D. Eisenhower,[5] Franklin Delano Roosevelt,[6] and Ulysses S. Grant[7][8] have visited Block Island. Other famous visitors include Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh, who each made separate trips to the island in 1929.[9]
Block Island is coextensive with the town of New Shoreham. The island is a popular summer tourist destination and is known for its bicycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, and beaches. The island hosts two historic lighthouses: Block Island North Light, on the northern tip of the island, and Block Island Southeast Light, on the southeastern side. Much of the northwestern tip of the island is an undeveloped natural area and resting stop for birds along the Atlantic Flyway.[citation needed]
Every summer the island hosts Block Island Race Week, a competitive, week-long sailboat race. On odd years, the event is held by the Storm Trysail Club, and on even years by the Block Island Race Week. Yachts compete in various classes, sailing courses in Block Island Sound and circumnavigating the island.[citation needed]
Other popular events include the annual Fourth of July Parade and celebration. During these times the island's population can triple over the normal summer vacation crowd.

Bloqué ! Pathétique... voici le résultat de l'irresponsabilité et de l'incompétence manifestes d'une petite élue locale, qui semble prendre plaisir à détruire des quartiers exclusivement dédiés aux piétons... Des voitures prises au piège entre les murs !!! Sur le circuit touristique "La Renaissance" de la ville de Périgueux !!! Des piétons contraints d'attendre !!! Et cette élue ? Pour la nommer, la maire Delphine Labails ? Rien à en tirer ! Elle s'en fout ouvertement... elle laisse faire, elle saccage, c'est son truc...
Blocked ! Pathetic... here is the result of the blatant irresponsibility and incompetence of a local elected official, who seems to take pleasure in destroying areas exclusively dedicated to pedestrians... Cars trapped between the walls!!! On the tourist circuit "La Renaissance" in the city of Périgueux!!! Pedestrians forced to wait!!! And this elected official? To name her, Mayor Delphine Labails? Nothing to gain from her! She doesn't care openly... she lets it happen, she wreaks havoc, that's her thing...

Spotted this great block of apartments when visiting Deli 4 You Eastern European grocery store in Norridge, near Montrose and Harlem. (Norridge is a suburb entirely surrounded by Northwest side Chicago.) Some of the buildings had replaced the front doors, but at least a couple still had what must be the original style.
This block surprised me. I wasn't going to make it. I didn't like it. But eventually I changed my mind and now it is the first block I can honesty say I don't feel like remaking. I do however, really like link text a__l's version on instagram to. In fact I love all of her blocks... very modern, very cool.

I received the coloured fabrics and added the Kona Snow fabric.
As paper piecing obviously uses more fabric than normal piecing, I had to become creative to have enough fabric for this block, thus the white in the coloured blocks and the use of the selvedge :)
This is the only block I have ever made that has no seam embellishment, apart from the couching.
I have taken lots of photos of this to get the correct colours but this is as close as I can get.
The orange flowers are an intense orange.
The block will be mailed to HeartsandHands for Sendai
This ice block sculptor and his creation were on display at the Riverwoods Mall for the Christmas season celebration.
