Many Fort Worthians survive August by staying in the air conditioning until, say, the third week of September. Others book vacations to cooler climes. For others, it means a boat ride on one of the area’s rivers or lakes, where they can pass a blissful afternoon skimming over the waves, enjoying the water-cooled breeze, and…| Fort Worth Weekly

The hill at the northern end of Copacabana is called the Calvario, or Station of the Cross. The trail, leading past fourteen crosses, takes about thirty minutes to ascend, and at the top, you're rewarded with a great view of the city behind you and Lake Titicaca, stretching out endlessly in front.

Oh, Copacabana. We really wanted to like you. You were perhaps the city in Bolivia we were most looking forward to! It started out perfectly... the bus ride from La Paz was beautiful, and included a short ferry trip.

In the end, you were the worst town we visited in Bolivia.| bolivia.for91days.com

Like many worthwhile hikes in Washington's Cascade Range, this hike is steep and strenuous. Anyone that puts in the hard work of booting up to Blanca Lake will have their efforts rewarded handsomely. I find myself recommending Blanca Lake over and over to family, friends, and acquaintances looking for incredible ...| Back o' Beyond
