First off, thanks for watching. Second, I apologize for my poor pronunciation. I tried to look up linguistics for some words but I’m sure my midwestern US accent came through on some. Also this is not nearly an extensive history of portugal. It’s abridged heavily and my resources ranged from wikipedia to a tour guide and just anecdotes from people I met in Portugal. I welcome all corrections an...

The Sonoran desert is home to a variety of cactus. Prickly pear, cholla, and barrel. But the undisputed king of the desert is the saguaro. And arguably the best place to view these magnificent cacti is in southern Arizona at Saguaro National Park. The area was named a National Monument on March 1st in 1933 in the waning days of Herbert Hoover’s presidency and quickly transitioned to a National ...

High in the rocky mountains, nestle below Mount Meeker lays the Chapel on the Rock. A truly beautiful sight to see. In 1916, Monsignor Joseph Bosetti came across a large rock formation just east of Rocky Mountain National Park and inspired by the Biblical phrase "upon this rock I will build my church", he envisioned a church built on the rock. His lack of funds delayed construction for nearly 2...

    When I was growing up in Cheraw, a tiny village just a few miles from La Junta, we would encounter hundreds of them crossing the road. It was impossible not to run over a few. We hated that. They were right at the top of the ridge coming out of North La Junta. It has been awhile since I have lived there but that may be a good place to check. They are very cool little creatures.

    Lisboa is a beautiful city, with rich history. A side note - during the 1755 Earthquake much of the City which was Riverside was of course devastated - along with this, was the destruction of building which were holding a significant amount of the Portuguese Historical Maps etc. Which may well have been the greatest treasure that Portugal had garnered. The information contained was in the hands of the Portuguese Only. It was confirmation of the discoveries in the East, some of which is not credited to this very day. I’m glad you did highlight the Tower of Belem and the Monument to Infante Dom Henrique and the Discobradors, perhaps the Geronimo’s Monastery could have been shown. Thanks for your work on this Video. The Portuguese Wallaby Down Under Now on top.

    Just a note, the second is the only flatiron that I'd ever recommend non-climbers free solo. It's a class 4 scramble more than a climb and almost every CU student has managed it drunk at some point. Downclimbing is where people usually get hurt on it but, once you hit the top, look north and youll find a small drop that you can hop off right back onto the trail
