  1. Tyre, Lebanon

    Tyre ("Ṣūr," in Arabic) is a city in the South Governorate of Lebanon. With 117,100 inhabitants, Tyre juts out from the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and it is located about 80 km (50 mi) south of Beirut.

  2. Pigeon Point Lighthouse

    Pigeon Point Lighthouse is one of the many (and easily accessible) lighthouses scattered along the California coastline. The last time I’ve been there, the federal government was trying to sell the lighthouse to a private party because the $1 million annual maintenance cost was burning a hole in their budget.

  3. Big Creek Bridge

    While Bixby Bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in California, it is likely that neighboring Big Creek Bridge takes top honors. Traveling north five miles beyond Lucia on Route 1, you'll see the bridge in the distance and a paved and often busy parking lot where people are out of their cars looking and taking photos.

  4. Nepenthe

    Nepenthe literally means "the one that chases away sorrow" and it first appears in Homer's Odyssey... more loosely translated, it is the drug of forgetfulness.

    However, the restaurant Nepenthe feels like entering a lair of one of Bond's arch-nemesis villains.
