Costa da Caparica (Photo Op) by dshay

Costa da Caparica is both a town and an exceptionally long stretch of sandy beach. In fact, at 30 km Costa da Caparica is the longest stretch of uninterrupted sandy beach in Europe. Costa da Caparica lies just southwest of Lisbon. You can take a ferry from Cais de Sodre and then hop a bus to get to the beach area or you can take a bus directly from Praca da Espanha in Lisbon. The northern part of the beach is home to several water sports centers and it is the most crowded Costa da Caparica beach area in the summer. From the northern end of the beach there is a narrow gauge, open air train that runs south for several miles and stops at every beach access point. Bar/cafe facilities are available at every beach stop and all bars/cafes have lounge chairs and umbrellas available for rental. Praia Sereia and Praia Moreno are two of the best options because of their excellent facilities and relatively modest crowds.

Campo Pequeno (Photo Op) by dshay

Campo Pequeno was constructed in 1892 for the purpose of being Lisbon’s central bullring. Bullfighting is still a popular sport in Portugal (note: unlike Spain, the bulls are not killed in the ring in Portugal) but Campo Pequeno is now rarely used for that purpose. It was completely renovated in 2006, complete with retractable rough, and now is primarily used for concerts and other events. It seats 9,000. The perimeter is lined with shops and restaurants. It is worth visiting both for its place in Lisbon’s bullfighting history and because of its beautiful, Moorish inspired, architecture.

Huntington Park by VisitWa

Huntington Park provides an experience of the power and beauty of the lower Spokane Falls on the Spokane River. The park is open all year, but the water flow changes with the season. To experience the roaring of the river, March-May is best. In the winter, the flow is drastically lower, but the rocks are exposed and fantastic ice formations appear making for some great photographs. There are dozens of interpretive signs and many public art installations highlighting Native American culture and hydroelectric history. The park is named after David L. Huntington, Washington Water Power's 3rd president. Wheelchair access provides an overlook of the park and partial views of the river below. There is limited metered parking on Post St. near the entrance and a Public Pay lot across the street. Open 5:00 am – 11:00 pm (509) 625-6200 Spokane Parks and Recreation AvistaLegacy.com

Statue of Tacoma's First and Best Promoter by VisitWa

The Illinois school teacher and chicken farmer come to Tacoma in 1883 with $ 2.40 in his pocket. He soon became a champion for Tacoma. Reportedly in a matter of months he was on the path to becoming Tacoma’s first millionaire. Mason bought cheap woodland on the north edge of town and divided it into house lots. He borrowed money to construct bridges and build streetcar lines, then gave Tacoma some unbuildable land for what is now called Puget Park. More than a local developer, Mason viewed the U.S. as his “big market”. If they had a reason, they would come to Tacoma….and buy his lots and houses. Mason drafted over 100 slogans that praised the city. He organized his slogans as radiant rays in the shape of a star. He called it Tacoma's "Star of Destiny" and printed full-page newspaper ads in far-flung cities like Cincinnati and New York. Mason's Star of Destiny is reproduced on the sidewalk in front of his statue. Behind the star stands the bronze Mason - Tacoma’s first and possibly best Super Salesman.

(Bingo was a childhood nickname from one of his favorite comic strips.) Home where Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby first saw the light of day has a historical plaque to convey its importance. Reminder that this is a private home, so view from the sidewalk, please. The house has a small historical plaque inset into one of the steps near the street level of stairs leading up to the house.
