Renfro Valley Entertainment Center, Mt. Vernon KY.
An early 1960s article in a Chicago newspaper, written by the young Hunter S. Thompson, opined that the Renfro Valley Barn Dance, now Entertainment Center and KY Music Hall of Fame and Museum, would be a total failure. Today this charming mix of country and city attractions lures tens of thousands of new and repeat visitors off I-75 at Mt Vernon KY to hear new and venerable country music shows and acts. Stay at nice motels, ramble the old-timey streets, eat ice cream and fudge, and explore re-created pioneer homesteads.

Barcelona's Tibidabo: Gypsy fortune-teller, Museum of Automa
In contrast to Tibidabo's glitzy Christ-topped Sacred Heart Church, let us be thankful that this creepy furtune-teller is safely imprisoned in a glass case at Tibidabo's Museum of Automatons.

Barcelona's Church of the Sacred Heart, atop Tibidabo Mounta
Tibidabo Mountain's name comes from the Latin rendering of words with which Satan tempted Jesus? What kind of name is that for a mountain topped with the spectacularly sacred, set cheek-by-jowl with the wildly profane? Here is a photo of the sacred. See next photo for a hint of the profane, or downright creepy, side of the Tibdabo entertainment district.

Hilary Lambert has been a member since 3 March 2008 and goes by HilaryLambert.
Currently in Ithaca NY and Lexington KY.
I am a geographer by training, and was a seasoned traveler at a young age, thanks to an adventurous family. Born in Ithaca NY USA, by the time I was 18 I had spent a year each in California, Norway, Sweden and the Philippines; had crossed the Atlantic on passenger ships five times, and had cruised the Greek islands and the south China Sea. Today I focus on adventure underground, and just got back from ten days in Barcelona. I have many tales to tell.
