Welcome to the Carnival of Cities blog carnival, where we tour the world in a single post, via submissions from a variety of different blogs, all about any aspect of one, single city or fair-sized town.
After taking a break for a few months, it’s nice to be back! We normally publish every other week; the next edition will be hosted on the Perceptive Travel blog.
If you would like to host a future Carnival edition on your blog, please contact me as the Carnival organizer: Sheila “at” sheilascarborough “dot” com. You do need to register on the carnival administration website (it’s easy and free) to submit to this or any blog carnival.
Here’s more info and background about the Carnival of Cities blog carnival, and now….
