Bison at the Berlin Zoo. . . with totem poles in background? And Pacific NW tribal art? Um, okay. Germany’s adoration of North American tribes is a complicated topic that I’m not even gonna try to wade into. I’ll just say that I find it fascinating. I had hoped to visit one of the Karl May inspired theme parks, but unfortunately didn’t have time.
So we travelled all the way from Northern Arizona to Thailand, and what did we find?
Thailand’s “Grand Canyon” was an old quarry converted to a water park. . . so almost the same thing.
A market stall in Salerno, Italy.
Between the cheese seller and the speck peddler, a man wearing a headdress and a bluetooth mouth piece sells dream catchers, Peruvian hats, and plastic sunflowers to the locals strolling along the docks.
He is extremely popular.
So, I drive across Northern Arizona to Disneyland so I can ride a “Cars” ride which is a theme-park attraction about riding a car across Northern Arizona? Well, at least I scored this amazing photo of a concrete red-rock formation. Oh and bonus points. Space Mountain is hiding in the bottom right corner!
