Rocks beneath the clear water

Tahoe City is a town of five thousand people nestled around one little scalloped edge of Lake Tahoe, where the hour hand strikes 10 o'clock. Its a place where "KEEP TAHOE BLUE" bumper stickers are glued onto every other car you see. Right in the center of town is Lake Tahoe's only outlet. The 1913 Dam is the main attraction for summer travelers, with a view of blue Lake Tahoe to one side and the emerging Truckee River on the other. No question Lake Tahoe is a boater's paradise. Its glassy surface extends over nearly 200 square miles. Those who don't have a boat can rent from the Tahoe City Marina or grab an inner-tube to float along the Truckee River.

Romanticism in a surrealist city.

The city of Barcelona is a grid of buildings from medieval and modern artists, with concrete and colors stretching between the Balearic Sea and the wall of mountains to the West. In the foothills, a short climb from the Mundet metro stop, part of the green mountain landscape comes down into the city. There, an unembellished gate marks the entrance to Parc del Laberint, a manicured hillside known for its central maze. One sees carved white ladies emerging from fountains, and concrete lions on ivy, before finding the labyrinth in the garden. Strangely, there is no lavish masquerade ball taking place. The park seems abandoned, save for the freshly cut edges on most plants.

Passeig de Gracia — Like Cheri Lucas

A trip to Barcelona is incomplete without a stroll up and down Passeig de Gràcia, the grand avenue where iconic Art Nouveau masterpieces, like Gaudí's Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, are located. And if you only have time to view these architectural gems, that's fine. Linger longer, however, to discover lesser-known buildings and examine the intricate elements that make up these 19th- and early-20th-century structures. Passeig de Gràcia and its surrounding streets, within the central part of the Eixample district, are full of details you don't want to miss—these buildings are just as magnificent close up as they are from a distance.

Lake Tahoe from here to there — Like Deja Kirkwood

Many affluent people around Lake Tahoe were influenced by environmentalism in the 1960s, including the last inheritor of Sugar Pine Point, who sold the land and buildings to California in 1965 for the sake of forest conservation. Isaias Hellman's turn-of-the-century summer home still sits on high ground in the thriving alpine forest, overlooking the lake. Leftover from the time of wooden skis, ladies parasols, and servants quarters, families and hikers treasure the beach side of Sugar Pine Point State Park for picnics and pictures.
