  2. Salinas

    Salinas, California is the land of strawberries, lettuce, Steinbeck… and giant cutout figures of fieldworkers.

    It started with roadside murals depicting baseball games, traffic accidents, and monstrous artichokes, but over the last ten years, artist John Cerney has accented the landscape of the Salinas Valley with his cutout portraits of farmers and fieldworkers. The figures are three times human size, and thus, easily visible from the comfort of your vehicle.

    After disappearing for over two hundred years, Machu Picchu is open and being rediscovered by thousands of people per day. Cell phone coverage, trains and buses make the newest '7 Wonder' destination available to people worldwide.

  10. Autostrade Vendors, Lebanon

    We pulled off the Autostrade (coastal highway running along the Mediterranean) to buy some drinks from a small vendor on the roadside...very common along the Autostrade; the main highway in Lebanon.

    They have a bit of everything and are dotted all along the road...just pull over, state your wish, and the owner/worker give you full service...no need to stop the engine or even get out of the car, and super cheap!
