My sons and I enjoy the map feature of google analytics lots. It allows you to zoom in on a particular country, and see every municipality where visitors have come from. We pick towns that sound interesting, find images of them, and then decide if we want to visit. Thank you, International Visitors, for helping us learn about where you live!
For instance, the coastline around Simferopol in the Ukraine (2 visitors in the last month) looks like it would be fun to explore:
As does the countryside around Guwahati, India (1 visitor):
The boys have decided that Elk, in Poland (1 visitor), would be a peaceful place to go:
And our trip to Romania will include a stop in Suceava (2 visitors) to see this castle:

Hedgehog lust!Which in turn leads to this fun bit of hedgehog-ness found at Once Upon a Blog, a "Hans My Hedgehog" story poster by Yael Albert:
Although this hedgehog is not all that cute.
Which finally leads to a book, making it all on topic:
Hans, My Hedgehog, by my blogging friend Kate Coombs, is released tomorrow! Congratulations, Kate! Here's Kate talking about how the book came to be at The Enchanged Inkpot.
Those baby hedgehogs are just too cute! Their little ears, and their little eyes, and their little noses, and their tiny feet... It's overload, I tell you. Cuteness overload.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this hedgehog t-shirt? I want one, but I don't think I could wear it without laughing every time I looked down.
Oh, I want one too!!!!
DeleteHedgehogs!!!

Guwahati, India, and Hans, all in one post--killer cool! Thanks, Charlotte. And the baby hedgehog is adorable!
