Places to see in ( Birmingham - USA )
Birmingham is the largest city in the state of Alabama. With more than 1.2 million people in the metropolitan area, Birmingham is the cultural and economic heart of Alabama. In much of the world, Birmingham is best remembered as the site of racist violence, bombings, and nonviolent protest in the 1960s, when the city was still racially segregated by law. Visitors today are often surprised to find a pleasant green city of ridges and valleys, with many attractive views and friendly, hospitable people.
From its founding through the end of the 1960s, Birmingham was a primary industrial center of the southern United States. Its growth from 1881 through 1920 earned it nicknames such as The Magic City and The Pittsburgh of the South. Its major industries were iron and steel production. Major components of the railroad industry, rails and railroad cars, were manufactured in Birmingham. Since the 1860s, the two primary hubs of railroading in the Deep South have been Birmingham and Atlanta. The economy diversified in the latter half of the 20th century. Banking, telecommunications, transportation, electrical power transmission, medical care, college education, and insurance have become major economic activities. Birmingham ranks as one of the largest banking centers in the U.S. Also, it is among the most important business centers in the Southeast.
In higher education, Birmingham has been the location of the University of Alabama School of Medicine (formerly the Medical College of Alabama) and the University of Alabama School of Dentistry since 1947. In 1969 it gained the University of Alabama at Birmingham, one of three main campuses of the University of Alabama System. It is home to three private institutions: Samford University, Birmingham-Southern College, and Miles College. The Birmingham area has major colleges of medicine, dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, pharmacy, law, engineering, and nursing. The city has three of the state's five law schools: Cumberland School of Law, Birmingham School of Law, and Miles Law School. Birmingham is also the headquarters of the Southwestern Athletic Conference and the Southeastern Conference, one of the major U.S. collegiate athletic conferences.
Birmingham occupies Jones Valley, flanked by long parallel mountain ridges (tailing ends of the Appalachian Mountains) running from northeast to southwest. The valley is drained by small creeks (Village Creek, Valley Creek) which flow into the Black Warrior River. The valley was bisected by the principal railroad corridor, along which most of the early manufacturing operations began. Suburbs in the Birmingham–Hoover metropolitan area :

Bloomington Sightseeing - Minnesota Reiseführer | Stefan der Welterkunder
Mall of America und Bloomington Sightseeing mit Highlights und Tipps als Minnesota Reiseführer! Dies Bloomington Reisevideo zeigt die Stadt in Minnesota mit folgenden Sehenswürdigkeiten:
- Mall of America
- Nickelodeon Universe
- Sea Life Aquarium
- Minnesota Wildlife Refuge
Bloomington liegt südlich von Minneapolis und Saint Paul und ist mit rund 90.000 Einwohnern der größte Vorort der Twin Cities und sogar die viertgrößte Stadt in Minnesota. Bekannt ist Bloomington vor allem durch die Mall of America geworden und einem der größten Einkaufszentren in ganz Nordamerika. Aber neben dem steuerfreien Einkauf von Bekleidung, dem gigantischen Freizeitpark mit Spaß ohne Ende und leckerem Essen bietet die Stadt noch richtig viel Natur. Das alles gibt es in diesem Bloomington Sightseeing Video!
Vor den Toren der Stadt Minneapolis und in Nähe zum Flughafen liegt in Bloomington ein echtes Highlight von Minnesota. Es ist die Mall of America mit dem Nickelodeon Universe und Sea Life Aquarium. Doch in unmittelbarer Umgebung gibt es noch viel mehr zu erkunden! Nämlich viel Natur und Ruhe vom ganzen Trubel mit schöner Landschaft die zum Wandern und Joggen einlädt - oder um einfach mal die Seele baumeln zu lassen. Kommt mit und begleitet mich durch diese spannende und abwechslungsreiche Gegend!
Rund 12.000 Personen arbeiten in der Mall of America, um den Besuchern ein tolles und abwechslungsreiches Erlebnis aus Shopping, Unterhaltung und Gastronomie zu bieten.
Die Mall of America wurde 1992 eröffnet und feiert in diesen Tagen gerade ihren 25-jährigen Geburtstag, herzlichen Glückwunsch! Vorher stand an dieser Stelle das Metropolitan Stadium, das für diverse Sportmannschaften in Minneapolis - aber vor allem dem Baseball als Heimat galt. Eine Erinnerungsplatte weist heute noch auf das damalige Stadion hin.
Die Mall of America hat jeden Tag bis weit in die Abendstunden geöffnet. Oftmals finden auch besondere Veranstaltungen wie Autogrammstunden und andere Auftritte von Prominenten statt. Aktuelles erfahrt ihr auf der Website. Der Link steht unter dem Video im Beschreibungstext.
Das Nickelodeon Universe liegt zentral mitten in der Mall of America. Es ist ein überdachter Vergnügungspark mit Achter- und Wildwasserbahnen sowie zahlreichen andere Attraktionen. Da ist für jedes Alter etwas dabei! Der Star ist SpongeBob Schwammkopf dem zahlreiche Fahrgeschäfte und Souvenirs gewidmet sind. Nach 14 Uhr wird es deutlich ruhiger, wenn die Schulklassen wieder nach Hause fahren. Das ist übrigens ebenfalls beim Aquarium und aber auch vielen anderen Sightseeing Hotspots in den Twin Cities der Fall - wie z.B. Museen.
Als großer Fan von Erlebnis-Aquarien aller Art ist natürlich das Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium, das sich auch in der Mall of America befindet, ein absolutes Highlight für mich mit all den Haien, Meeresschildkröten, Quallen und tausenden anderer Meeresbewohner!
Von der lebhaften Mall of America nur kurz entfernt liegt das erholsame Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Ein 5.700 ha großes Naturschutzgebiet am Rande von Bloomington und südlich der Twin Cities Minneapolis und Saint Paul.
Im Besucherzentrum in Bloomington gibt es viele Ausstellungen zu erkunden. Von dort aus führen auch Wanderwege zum Long Meadow Lake am linken Ufer des Minnesota River umgeben von Seen, Teichen und Auenwäldern.

Magical Peru #14: Cruz del Condor
Magical Peru: youtube.com/diogok
We woke up very early in Chivay to hop on a bus and go on a day tour on the Colca Canyon, passing by small villages like the Yanque town and Maca pueblo, taking photos with llamas and Andine Eagle (águila andina), and reaching the Condor Cross (Cruz del Condor), at a altitude of well over four thousand meters! For the first part of this trip on the Colca Canyon, please watch the previous video:
The Colca Canyon is home to the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus), a species that has been the focus of worldwide conservation efforts. The condors can be seen at close range as they fly past the canyon walls, and are a popular attraction. 'Cruz del Condor' is a popular tourist stop to view the condors. At this point the canyon floor is 3,960 feet (1,200 m) below the rim of the canyon.
Colca Canyon is a canyon of the Colca River in southern Peru, located about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Arequipa. It is Peru's third most-visited tourist destination with about 120,000 visitors annually. It is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in the United States at 13,650 ft (4,160 m) depth. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with pre-Inca roots, and towns founded in Spanish colonial times, still inhabited by people of the Collagua and the Cabana cultures. The local people maintain their ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces.
Chivay is a town in the Colca valley, capital of the Caylloma province in the Arequipa region, Peru. Located at about 12,000 ft above sea level, it lies upstream of the renowned Colca Canyon. It has a central town square and an active market. The thermal springs La Calera Baños Termales, are located 3 km from town, where a number of heated pools have been constructed. A stone Inca bridge crosses the Colca River ravine, just to the north of the town. The town is a popular staging point for tourists visiting Condor Cross or Cruz Del Condor, where condors can be seen catching thermal uplifts a few kilometres downstream. Most of the Colca Canyon tours depart from Chivay.
When we first arrived in Peru, we spent a couple of weeks studying Spanish in Lima (please watch the vlog Living in Lima) then we headed to the North of Peru and visited Trujillo, Chiclayo and some archaeological sites, such as tombs, piramids and ancient cities. Now we go South: our first stop was in Arequipa, and then we headed to Chivay and its thermal pools (La Calera hot springs) and the Colca Canyon, to do a canyon tour!
On the next video we will depart from Chivay by bus heading to Puno and the Lake Titicaca!
Brasileiro no Peru --
Após passar algumas semanas apenas em Lima estudando espanhol e conhecendo o que a capital peruana tem a oferecer, nós partimos para explorar o país. Começando pela região Norte, fomos até Trujillo, Chiclayo, Huanchaco, Huacas del Sol e de la Luna, Chan Chan e o sítio arqueológico da Tumba do Lorde Sipán. Depois, descemos pelo Sul do Perú, em lugares como Arequipa, Chivay, Cânion de Colca, Puno e Lago Titicaca, e terminamos nossa jornada no interior, em Cusco, no Vale Sagrado e em Machu Pichu.
