2010: A Terrestrial Odyssey, sunny edition
The World Domination Tracker highlights our sunnier outposts (though it can get very cold at certain times of the year).
Walter Robles is in the Canary Islands, Spain.
“This is Casablanca, not in Morocco, but in Gran Canaria, Spain. It’s a small town about an hour north of Las Palmas. The weather is perfect year round. Along the winding tiny streets are tapas bars, cozy restaurants and street markets on Sundays. I love this place. I stay in a farm owned by a German couple I met while diving in Coron years ago. I help in their orange farm (making marmalade) and goat farm (making smoked cheese), and do the cooking in exchange for free accommodations. Best deal in the world!”
Mervin Meruenas was in Kathmandu.
Jay-Ann Redondo is in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland.
“This photo was taken in Biel-Bienne, Switzerland in late June 2009 during the annual summer festival, where street artists converge and show off their stuff. Biel-Bienne is the watch capital of Switzerland: the offices and factories of Swatch, Rolex, Omega, etc. can be found in this rather obscure Swiss town. It was only late (last) year that the local government started to promote the city as the watch capital by installing clock display stands of various brands along the main streets.”
