Girona, a day-trip from Barcelona Un passeig per Girona (2011)
Easily reached from Barcelona, Girona enchanted us with its medieval charm, narrow streets climbing the steep hill of the Capuchins; small, shaded piazzas; amazing views from its fortified wall; and, of course, the picturesque front on the river Onyar.
Sights:
1. The Jewish ghetto or Call (12th century, the old town) is one of the best preserved in Europe and is a major tourist attraction, without being over commercialized. The history of the Jewish community of Girona ended in 1492, when Jews were expelled from Catalonia. The cemetery is worth a visit (we haven't). But we had the beer in the Cathedral Piazza :)
2. The city walls (free) offer a popular walk with panoramic views over Girona. Originally from Roman times, then thoroughly rebuilt in the 14th century, walls were partially demolished at the end of the 19th century to allow for the expansion of the city but have been recently reconstructed.
3. The river front, especially in late afternoon, is simply breathtaking!
4. St Mary's Cathedral (6 euro) is an excellent example of Spanish Gothic architecture. It is approached by 86 steps. A gold and silver altar-frontal was carried off by the French in 1809 (we haven't been inside).
5. The Church of Sant Feliu (free) is a noteworthy 14th century Gothic with a façade dating from the 18th century. It is one of the few Spanish churches which possesses a genuine spire.
6. The Benedictine church of Sant Pere de Galligants is in early Romanesque style. From the same period is the Monastery of St. Daniel.
Music: Bach (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring); Paco de Luca Concierto de Aranjuez (1st, 2nd, 3rd movements)

It is believed that Guam was first discovered by people from southeastern Indonesia around 2000 B.C. Most of what is known about Pre-Contact (Ancient) Chamorros comes from legends and myths, archaeological evidence, Jesuit missionary accounts, and observations from visiting scientists like Otto von Kotzebue and Louis de Freycinet.
When Europeans first arrived on Guam, Chamorro society roughly fell into three classes: matua (upper class), achaot (middle class), and mana'chang (lower class). The matua were located in the coastal villages, which meant they had the best access to fishing grounds while the mana'chang were located in the interior of the island. Matua and mana'chang rarely communicated with each other, and matua often used achaot as a go-between. There were also makåhna (similar to shamans), skilled in healing and medicine. Belief in spirits of ancient Chamorros called Taotao mo'na still persists as a remnant of pre-European society. When Magellan first arrived on Guam, he was greeted by hundreds of small outrigger canoes that appeared to be flying over the water, due their speed. These outrigger canoes were called Proas, and resulted in Magellan naming Guam Islas de las Velas Latinas (Islands of the Lateen Sails ).
Guam—the only European outpost in the Pacific Ocean beyond the Philippines, the regular stopping-place between Mexico and Manila from 1565 to 1815, and (since Philippine independence) the farthest outpost of actual United States territory in the Pacific—is the biggest single segment of Micronesia, the largest island between Kyushu and New Guinea, between the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands.
Latte Stones are a familiar site to Guam residents and visitors alike. These pillars are only found in the Mariana Islands and are a recent development in Pre-Contact Chamorro society. The latte stone was used a foundation on which thatched huts were built. Latte consist of a base shaped out of limestone called the haligi and with a capstone, or tåsa, made either from a large brain coral or limestone, placed on top. Using carbon-dating, archaeologists have broken Pre-Contact Guam (i.e. Chamorro) history into three periods: Pre-Latte (B.C. 2000? to A.D. 1) Transitional Pre-Latte (A.D. 1 to A.D. 1000), and Latte (A.D. 1000 to A.D. 1521). Archaeological evidence also suggests that Chamorro society was on the verge of another transition phase by 1521, as latte stones became bigger. Assuming the larger latte stones were used for chiefly houses, it can be argued that Chamorro society was becoming more stratified, either from population growth or the arrival of new people. The theory remains tenuous, however, due to lack of evidence, but if proven correct, will further support the idea that Pre-Contact Chamorros lived in a vibrant and dynamic environment.
[edit] Spanish Colonization and the Manila Galleons
Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan, sailing for the King of Spain, reached the island in 1521 during his fleet's circumnavigation of the globe. General Miguel López de Legazpi claimed Guam for Spain in 1565. Spanish colonization commenced in 1668 with the arrival of Padre San Vitores, who established the first Catholic mission. The islands were part of the Spanish East Indies governed from the Philippines, which were in turn part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain based in Mexico City. Between 1668 and 1815, Guam was an important resting stop for the Spanish Manila galleons, a fleet that covered the Pacific trade route between Acapulco (Mexico) and Manila (Philippines). Guam, along with the rest of the Mariana and Caroline Islands, were treated as part of Spain's colony in the Philippines. While Guam's Chamorro culture is unique, the cultures of both Guam and the Northern Marianas were heavily influenced by Spanish culture and traditions during their 333 years of rule.[7]

Liepāja In Your Pocket - Wooden architecture
In Your Pocket editor Martins Zaprauskis on the wooden architecture of Liepāja. Liepāja is a great place to see old wooden residential buildings from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries usually topped with a red tile roof. Although some look like they're on the verge of collapse, many others have been renovated and some even house some of the city's best accommodation.

Exploring Kyoto ans climbing Mount Fuji off season - A Wop in Japan 4 - The Traveling Wop
This week I visit the most iconic city in Japan, Kyoto!
I then hitchhike my way to another unmissable stop, mount Fuji.
It needs to be attacked at night, in order to be on the top at sunrise, as it's notorious for getting cloudy after 9am or so. Will I be lucky enough to have goo visibility?
