Carnival of Cities for 12 August 2009
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009Welcome to the August 12, 2009 edition of the Carnival of Cities, where we tour the world in a single blog post through the eyes and words of contributing bloggers.
The focus is on any aspect of a single city (or a fair-sized town.) Any blogger with a relevant post is welcome to submit a post for possible inclusion.
I’ve been running this blog carnival on and off since February 2007, often on the “host blog” (currently my BootsnAll Family Travel Logue) but like any carnival it moves around, and other bloggers take turns hosting.
Today I’m hosting it here on Sheila’s Guide so that my tourism and travel readers can see a wide variety of blogging topics and talent.
Off we go….
