Zhu presents Toronto, Here We Are Again posted at Correr Es Mi Destino, saying, “We’ve been going to Toronto for years and the city seems to be constantly under construction. There are always more condos to be built, all higher, fanciers and more expensive than the previous one. On Yonge Street, one of the new projects advertises penthouses starting at $17.5 million—who has this kind of money?”
Mary Jo Manzanares presents How to Spend a Day at Woodland Park Zoo posted at Traveling with MJ, saying, “Whether you have a full day, or just an afternoon, Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington is a great escape to visit your four footed, furry, fanged, finned, and feathered friends.”

And for being relatively small, this free museum was actually done quite well and had tons of displays and interactive exhibits which made learning about the history of the microp rocessor more fun than you might think. Today I’m going to focus on the top 5 exhibits that I found were the most memorable.”

Tui Cameron presents Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District posted at Discovering Dallas – Fort Worth, saying, “For those craving a wild west experience while visiting Texas, the Fort Worth Stockyards is the place to go. This is where you can see longhorns herded down the street each day, ride a mechanical bull, watch a gunfight (reenactment!), buy custom-made cowboy boots, hang out in a honkytonk, see the opry, rent a horse, head to the rodeo and enjoy great BBQ.”

What a funny coincident that the first two posts in this carnival cover Toronto… And I just got back from there a few weeks ago. Funny coincidence.
I wrote about my visit a bit in my article about Yelp.
Anyway, excellent carnival. It’s an honor to be listed beside such great names, truly.

Andarin, Glad your happy. For Americas I tried to work North to South and group cities postings together. It was fun putting it together for the post.

To update: the next Carnival edition will be hosted by me, on October 5, on the Perceptive Travel blog. Submission deadline is noon CST on Tuesday, October 4.
