replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 I recognise the one from London - the others I'm not sure where they are or if I have visited. Thailand maybe one of them? #trlt

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 If it's a good tour, definitely. Longfellow House in Boston is great. And the Hemingway birth home in Chicago was interesting. #trlt

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A1. I do love an old ruin, especially if it’s a well preserved one. 😊 #TRLT

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A1: It really depends. One of my favorites (!) was a private tour of the Farrow & Ball factory in Dorset; their brand is world famous and in all the design magazines -- and all over our apartment. It was a huge thrill. #trlt

Within the state, Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty. Paterson Falls and Edison Labs are close, too. #trlt https://t.co/Og8KwaN0Qb

replying to @ChinaMatt @ChinaMatt I've seen/visited a couple of those National Park Service areas and have a friend who has worked and is working at a couple of them as well. #TRLT

Q4) Share a story from a visit to the quirkiest or most unusual 'Famous Place' that you've explored on The Road Less Traveled. Show us a photo! via @LindaPeters64 #TRLT
t_jh2009
replying to @t_jh2009 A4) Petite France in South Korea was a bit unusual famous place to visit and if you stay for the puppet show then it starts to be creepy. #TRLT

@t_jh2009 @LindaPeters64 A4) One lesser-known spot in Venice is the atelier of Mariano Fortuny, who invented a number of amazing/ongoing designs, from his tightly-pleated silk Delphos gowns to lighting. It feels like he just stepped out, and he died there on May 3, 1949. #trlt

replying to @t_jh2009 A5) Going under the Sydney Harbor Bridge during a tour of the city gave me a different perspective of the structure that I didn't get from a distance. #TRLT

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @CharlesMcCool A5. We couldn’t get inside Notre Dame when we visited so we went to the ruins underneath instead (excuse quality of the pic, it was a looong time ago on a really rubbish phone 🤦🏽♀️). #TRLT

replying to @sl2016_sl @sl2016_sl @CharlesMcCool That's cool, I wish I had known about them when I was there. #TRLT
