I liked Hue. I have always liked Hue, even though I had never been here before! It is a place with a lot of history.
Hue is built on the Perfume River (you have to love the place, for that reason alone), quite some distance inland, where Route I crosses the river on its way between Saigon and Hanoi. In 1802, Nguyễn Phúc Ánh (later Emperor Gia Long) gained control over the whole of Vietnam, and decided to move his capital from Hanoi to a point in the middle of the country. This site was chosen, and a citadel built based on the most current design of European fortification. This consisted of a huge ring of ramparts behind a moat around the whole city, with bastions on the ramparts that provided mutual defense. Within the Citadel, an inner moated enclosure surrounded the Imperial Enclosure, in which the Emperor and his Mandarins worked. A further inner area within the Imperial Enclosure, called the Purple Forbidden City, was reserved for the private use of the Emperor and his family only. Canals were used to divert water from the Perfume River through the moats. The Nguyễn (pronounced "Noowin") dynasty remained here for a century and a half.
This map shows how in the last century, the city has spread over onto the south bank, connected by a rail bridge and two road bridges. We stayed in the "SG Morin", a splendid old hotel occupying an historic French colonial building at the south end of the Trang Tien bridge (Cau Truong Tien) - in the biggest hotel room I have ever stayed in!
As you can see by the dark green on the map, much of the land in CR sur is dedicated to national parks or reserves. One of the big ones, north and east of us is La Amistad Parque Internacional. It runs from CR into Panama, and is jointly managed by both countries.

Mixed media piece #3 for Year of the Giraffe. The background ares papers I made running the ink off of Nat Geo mags and then collaging onto canvas. The giraffe spots are also made that way. I drew the giraffe and then scanned it into Photoshop and laid my papers onto it, printed it, cut it out, added some colored pencil shading and then layered it onto the collaged canvas. I then took it back into Photoshop and added the trees and birds. It took forever it seemed!

Maps from my first visit to London in 2000.
Drawn with felt pen on tracing paper, copic markers to underside of tracing paper then stuck on (crookedly!) to white paper and into a black paper photo album.
Hmmm... I like these maps very much - the use of colour and the 3D components are more successful that most of the maps that I do these days....but back then I had more time for these things ...no that was definitely not the case! I was more careful!! And just for the record I traced these maps.
BTW... I am doing more trip preps than I can or will post....

Giant map of NYC in the Queens Museum of Art. I uploaded this full size panorama of downtown Manhattan so my neighbors can have fun finding their own apartment building.
Robert Moses had 'The Panorama of the City of New York' built for the 1964 World's Fair, but it has been updated, and supposedly has every building built before 1992. Originally you flew over it on a simulate helicopter ride. Now there is a ramp that spirals around it from the first to second floor of the museum.
Frankfurt is a large metro area with a lot of commuters, so it has a fairly substantial public transportation system. Indeed, its probably one of the most comprehensive ones I've used in recent history. The system includes subway (U-bahn), commuter trains (S-bahn), trolleys, buses, regional trains, and the like, all with a common fare system. If anything, I found myself with too many options for getting from one place to another.
What's interesting is that unlike a lot of systems these days, Frankfurt's system is mostly star-shaped: the majority of routes go to or through one location: Hauptbahnhof, which has 24 street level rail platforms, a similar number one level down, several trolley lines out front, and a major U-bahn station. A large number of S-Bahn trains head east from the station below ground in a large tunnel called the CityTunnel, which snakes around downtown and ends up at Lokalbahnhof , a station over the Main in Sachsenhauser.
