			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazing <a href="http://www.berkeley-girls.com/"><strong>London Escorts</strong></a> and their relaxing and unwinding massage service is one of a kind and I am convinced it&#8217;s without question the best of the world and there is no better than you can enjoy in the the city of London. A wide variety of <a href="http://www.babylongirls.co.uk/london_escorts_gallery.asp"><strong>London Escorts</strong></a> Services that comply with your desire and that cover all your needs are available in London, After traveling to London myself, I had a good friend recommending a popular escort agency to me, to make it easier through the long and lonely nights, working there in the foggy city on an extensive project. The popular escort agency turned out to be an exclusive London Escort Agency that provides a wide choice of girls from fine, sexy damsels to classy, highly educated and sophisticated International escort girls that come from all corners of the world.</p>
<p>I was impressed when I accessed their web site and to make a choice was not that easy. Tempted between an English Rose and a hot Czech girl, I started to select some more of these beautiful creatures to make sure that I would not stay alone that night. With a choice of over 100 high class escorts, I realized that this agency must be one of London&#8217;s largest Escort Agencies.</p>
<p>The 24 hour service and the lady I talked too to book &#8220;My Girl&#8221; on the phone, helped me great deal to make a good decision. I spontaneously decided to go with a stunning Polish Model, which was on my list as number 4. The service desk lady seemed to know all &#8220;her girls&#8221; and her description of the Escort&#8217;s nature were simply true and the match making was perfect. When the Young <a href="http://www.escortinlondon.net/"><strong>Escort In London</strong></a> picked me up from work, like a real girl-friend does, I felt in heaven.</p>
<p>The rest of the story is private, all I can say is I had a wonderful and very satisfying experience! So if you are also one of the guys traveling a lot, working a lot at client site and you need to go to London you may check out the links I have provided in this post so you can see all what London has to offer.</p>
<p>I turned into a steady customer and I would like to know if there are more gents out there that have used escort services in the past, and if they were just as pleased as I am.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although it may not be possible for you to travel to every holiday destination in the world, you can make a visit to the top ten world attractions. These attractions are unique in their own right and are must see events and destinations.</p>
<ol>
<li>Disneyland in America – A trip to Disneyland is an experience in itself and is sure to bring out the child in you. With amusements for both children and adults, this location host parades, lightshows and floral tributes in grand style. You can also club your visit with a trip to Universal Studios.</li>
<li><span id="more-124"></span>Taj Mahal in India – India is a country that has a unique and diverse culture. A visit to the Taj Mahal which has been described as a tribute of love in marble from the Emperor Shah Jahan to his wife is sure to impress you.</li>
<li>Niagara Falls in Canada – Pay a visit to Ontario to see the world’s biggest waterfall in all its splendour. You can also get on board the Maid of the Mist and enjoy the waterfall up close and in person.</li>
<li>Paris and the Eiffel tower – No world travel itinerary would be complete without listing Paris in its top five destinations. Paris is the city of lovers, bridges and museums and the Eiffel Tower is only a small part of its overall appeal. When you are visiting Paris, make sure to take a day trip down to Normandy to experience the chilling reality of D-Day.</li>
<li>The Great Barrier Reef, Australia – Go snorkelling or reef diving off the coast of Australia and take in the sights of the Great Barrier Reef.</li>
<li>Mardi Gras in Rio De Janeiro – Mardi Gras is the world’s largest and most exciting party. Full of parades, fireworks, and non-stop entertainment with its colourful dancers and street performers, this is one celebration worth travelling around the world for. When you have exhausted everything there is to do in Rio de Janeiro, the perfect thing to do is to take a full day tropical island cruise. Just off the coast of this magnificent city are some beautiful islands. Sunbathing, scuba diving and snorkelling are all on the list of things to do while on the cruise.</li>
<li>The Great Wall of China &#8211; China is a beautiful country with a unique culture and any trip you make to this region is sure to change your perspective on life. When in China, make a day trip to the great wall and marvel at the world’s only man made structure visible from the moon.</li>
<li>If you are a skiing enthusiast, you can do no better than making a day trip to Andorra from Barcelona. This is one of Europe’s smallest countries with some of the best ski slopes in the world.</li>
<li>Wildlife Safari in South Africa – Go on a wildlife safari in South Africa and see nature at its most magnificent as you drive past large African lions and other big cats, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, rhinos and other animals. This can be an incredible experience even if you are not a wildlife enthusiast.</li>
</ol>
<p>Take a trip to Tuscany – Enjoy the summer sun in this incredible region and sample the local cuisine. You should also go on one of the many vineyard tours and wine tasting sessions here.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anne Frank was one of the millions of Jewish victims of the Nazis during World War II. Although she was only 13 years old when she died, Anne Frank’s story has been told many times thanks to the diary she kept whilst she was in hiding in Amsterdam. Anne was born in Germany and along with her father (Otto), mother (Edith Frank-Hollander) and sister (Margot), fled to Holland to escape persecution.</p>
<p>Otto had set up a successful food business and part of the company was located in a building on Prinsengracht. In May 1940, Germany invaded Holland and they brought with them, the repression of the Jewish people. Fearful about the fate of his family, in July 1942, Otto Frank moved his family to an annex at the back of the building at 263 Prinsengracht. Later, the Franks were joined in the Annex by Hermann and Auguste van Pels, their son Peter and Fritz Pfeffer.</p>
<p><span id="more-123"></span>Anne Frank House, Amsterdam</p>
<p>For more than two years, these 8 people hid in the Annex from the Nazis and during this time, Anne Frank kept a diary. In it, she wrote her most personal thoughts and feelings and later her father were surprised how strong her emotions were even though he was close to his daughter.</p>
<p>On 4 August 1944, the German authorities received an anonymous phone call telling them that Jews were hiding at 263 Prinsengracht. Anne Frank and the seven others had been betrayed and to this day, it is still not known who betrayed them. In addition, some of the people helping were also arrested although they all survived the war.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the 8 Jewish people who had been hiding for more than two years. After their arrests, they were deported to various concentration camps to the East.</p>
<p>- Edith Frank died in Auschwitz.</p>
<p>- Margot Frank died in Bergen-Belsen.</p>
<p>- Anne Frank also died in Bergen-Belsen just days after her sister and tragically a month before the camp was liberated by the British Army.</p>
<p>- Hermann van Pels died in Auschwitz</p>
<p>- Auguste van Pels died while being transported to Theresienstadt.</p>
<p>- Peter van Pels died in Mauthausen.</p>
<p>- Fritz Pfeffer died in Neuenhamme.</p>
<p>Otto Frank had been sent to Auschwitz but survived the war and eventually died in 1980 at the age of 91. However, before he died, Otto spent a lot of time getting his daughters diary published and helping set up the Anne Frank House museum.</p>
<p>The Anne Frank House museum has been open to the public since 1960 and now attracts more than 1 million visitors a year. The museum’s address is 267 Prinsengracht so it covers a larger area than just the original building of Otto Franks company. Visitors should allow about an hour to go round the museum. If you are going to visit the museum independently, it is probably best to pre-book you tickets on the internet as there is always a queue to get in with waiting times up to an hour. Pre-booked tickets let you select the time you want to visit the museum but it is advisable to get these well in advance as the slots seem to sell out quickly. Alternatively, you can just turn up and queue as many people do. If you go for this option, its probably worth getting there early. There are no cloakroom facilities at the museum so if you are planning to visit at the end of your trip to Amsterdam, make sure you leave your luggage at your hotel or the station.</p>
<p>We got to the museum for around 9:45am and had to queue for about 20 minutes although when we came out the queue was almost double the length. An adult ticket was 8.50EUR, a child up to the age of 17 was 4EUR and children under 10 are admitted free (2009 prices). Once inside, visitors are directed round various exhibitions started on the ground floor and working up to the Annex were Anne Frank spent two years of her short life. There are various quotes from her diary displayed on the walls throughout the museum as well as a number of personal items. There are also video screens with short interviews from people who help hide the Franks, one of Anne’s friends and Otto Frank.</p>
<p>On the walls of the staircase leading down from the Annex, there is a quote from Nelson Mandela. I forget the exact words but basically during his time in prison on Robben Island, Mandela and his fellow inmates read Anne Frank’s Diary and it helped to inspire them in their cause. The bookshop at the Museum offers a wide range of literature about Anne Frank as well as information about the various campaigns and educational programs it helps with. The Anne Frank Museum should be a part of any trip to Amsterdam.</p>
<p>The final months of Anne and Magot Franks lives were at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Today, the site is a memorial with extensive exhibitions as well as a documentation and research centre. Entry is free to all visitors. The Bergen-Belsen Memorial is located around 50km north of Hanover between the towns of Bergen and Winsen. Despite its relatively remote location, there is a bus service from the town of Celle.</p>
<p>Bergn-Belsen</p>
<p>Originally, the camp was used by the Wehrmacht as a POW camp in 1939. Around 20,000 POWs died here, mainly from the Soviet Union. In 1943, the SS took over the running of the camp and established it as a concentration camp. Until its liberation in April 1945, more than 52,000 men, women and children died mainly from starvation and disease. When the British liberated the camp, there were confronted with the sight of thousands of unburied bodies and many other prisoners who were barely alive.</p>
<p>Anne and Margot Frank arrived at Bergen-Belsen from Auschwitz in August 1944. The following winter was harsh and with the camp being horribly overcrowded, more than 18,000 people had died there by March 1945 from cold, hunger and disease. Margot died from Typhus and now Anne was all alone. She also contracted Typhus and believing her parents to also be dead, she maybe thought there was nothing to live for and gave in to the disease that had claimed her sister.</p>
<p>Anne and Margot Franks gravestone</p>
<p>After the war, the British Military Government ordered a memorial site to be created. The camp became a Displaced Persons Camp as many Jews had no home to return to. In 1948, the State of Israel was founded and some people from the Displaced Persons camp were allowed to immigrate there. The camp was finally closed in 1950.</p>
<p>When we arrived at the Memorial, the we spent time looking round the Exhibition Documentation Centre this in itself can be very time consuming as there is so much to see not to mention the videos and recordings from camp survivors. There is also some very graphic video shot by the British Army just a few days after the camp was liberated. It shows the bodies being put into the mass graves (up to 5,000 people) which are still very much part of the outdoor memorial.</p>
<p>We spent around an hour indoors before heading outside to look at former camp. Virtually nothing of the old camp remains. The POW cemetery where over 14,000 Soviet soldiers are buried is located a bit further away from the rest of the memorial and takes about 15 minutes to walk there. Visitors also have the option to drive there if they have their own transport.</p>
<p>Around the grounds, there are a number of mass graves marked simply stating how many people are buried there and the date, April 1945. At the far end is the Obelisk and Wall of Remembrance where people have laid wreaths, flowers as well as many individual stones, which I believe is Jewish tradition (feel free to correct me or tell me the full story of the stones by leaving a comment).</p>
<p>Near the Wall, visitors will find a large timber cross which was erected on the initiative of Polish women from the camp shortly after liberation. There is also a House of Silence where people can sit and reflect. In the centre are a number of gravestones, including one of Margot and Anne Frank. The grave stones do not mark a specific resting place of the individual, they are there as a memorial.</p>
<p>Whilst I did not find Bergen-Belsen as disturbing as Auschwitz (which I visited a few years ago), it is undoubtedly a very sombre place where evil claimed the lives of so many innocent people. Anne Frank’s short life came to an end in this camp hidden away to the north of Hanover but the discovery and publication of her diary by her father, Otto has given inspiration to a world statesmen in Nelson Mandela and has also gave us an insight to a life cut tragically short by persecution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new mosquito is threatening the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands.  Thought to be a “foreign” mosquito, studies released just this month show that the foreign invader may in fact be a native mosquito developing in an unusual way.  Worse, if foreign mosquitoes really find their way to the Islands, they could devastate the Island&#8217;s wildlife.</p>
<p><span id="more-121"></span><strong>The Impact of Foreign Mosquitoes on the Galapagos Islands</strong></p>
<p>Different mosquito species draw from a variety of sources to get the blood they need for reproduction.  Some species choose mammals preferentially, while others prefer birds or even reptiles – interestingly enough, mosquito species seldom stray from their preferred feeding sources.</p>
<p>However, in the Galapagos Islands, one species of mosquito is exhibiting an unusual new behavior.  The Aedes Taeniorhynchus, or black salt marsh mosquito, has traditionally chosen mammals and birds for feeding.  Now, it has begun to feed on reptiles, particularly the Island&#8217;s famed marine iguanas and giant tortoises.</p>
<p>At first, it was thought that these mosquitoes were a new or foreign species that had been artificially introduced to the Galapagos Islands.  In fact, there are two species of mosquitoes found on the Galapagos Islands that have apparently been introduced by humans in recent memory.  Further research, however, has shown that these mosquitoes have actually been there for quite some time – possibly as long as 200,000 years.</p>
<p>Researchers believe that the fact that these black salt marsh mosquitoes have begun to change their feeding habits may be evidence that they are currently undergoing a period of evolutionary change.  The differences between the A. Taeniorhynchus mosquitoes found in the Galapagos and the A. Taeniorhynchus mosquitoes found on the mainland are so vast, that they can almost be classified as different species.  In fact, becoming a new species may be exactly what the Galapagos Island mosquitoes are doing.</p>
<p>The real threat is that with tourism increasing, a new mosquito species could easily be introduced to the Island, one that carries a disease that affects animals – particularly the reptiles or birds for which the Island is famous.  The wildlife of the Galapagos Islands is very isolated and has little resistance to disease.  This means that the introduction of a new disease could have serious and perhaps irreparable consequences, devastating this incredible natural resource.  All it would take is for one mosquito to catch a ride aboard a plane headed for the Galapagos and the remarkable wildlife there could be wiped out forever.</p>
<p>Right now, the government of Ecuador has begun requiring planes flying in to the Galapagos Islands to be treated with insecticides both inside the cabin and hold, and outside the plane as well.  Similar requirements have been suggested for ships, but none have so far been implemented, as many cruise lines are concerned about the cost and logistics associated with these processes.</p>
<p>Presently, researchers believe that the largest mosquito based threat to the Galapagos Islands is from foreign mosquitoes being introduced, rather than changes in the native mosquitoes.  Consequently, they plan to let evolutionary changes in the native mosquito run their natural course.  Hopefully they are right, and the steps the Ecuadorian government is taking to prevent the introduction of foreign mosquitoes will be effective.  Otherwise, the great ecological resource that is the Galapagos Islands could be wiped clean from the map, destroying a fascinating ecosystem that isn’t represented anywhere else in the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The whole of northern India has become the favourite Tourist Destination for tourist from all parts of the world. This beautiful part of India has some of the most beautiful locations including the famous lands of Leh Ladakh, Kashmir and the states of Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. All these places have so much to offer that the list of foreign as well as local travelers have been increasing day by day.</p>
<p>Among all these places, Ladakh city witnesses the largest number of travelers. The main reasons for such huge bulk of travelers every year are its small accessibility period and the beautiful destinations &amp; scope of adventurous activities in Ladakh.</p>
<p><span id="more-118"></span>Ladakh lies in trans-Himalayan district of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Both adventure freaks and culture enthusiasts have greater inclination to travel this wonderful location. The place is famous for its high mountain charm and civilization. The place is strongly influenced by the Tibetans culture and due to the strong influence of the Tibetan culture; the place is also called a ‘Little Tibet.’ More than half the population of Ladakh is constituted of Tibetans people.</p>
<p>In the past, Ladakh was a Buddhist kingdom, but after the partition these regions are controlled by Pakistan and China. The two districts of Ladakh include Leh and Kargil. Besides being the largest town of Ladakh and Leh is also known as the capital of Ladakh. One of the most remarkable features of Ladakh is wide scope of adventurous activities here. Some of the popular adventurous activities of Ladakh include:</p>
<p><strong>TREKKING</strong></p>
<p>Trekking is just the kind of adventure sport that every fun-loving traveler would love. The sports involve lot of fun amid the hilly areas in cool surroundings. Some of popular valleys for trekking in Ladakh include the <a rel="nofollow" href="”http://www.iwilltravellehladakh.com/zanskar-trek.php" target="_blank">Zanskar valley trek</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="”http://www.iwilltravellehladakh.com/markha-valley-trek.php”" target="_blank">Markha Valley trek </a> Lamayuru-Padum Valley Trek and Indus Valley Trek. The traditional trekking season extends from early June to mid-October.</p>
<p><strong>RIVER RAFTING</strong></p>
<p>The place is an ultimate spot for river rafting. The place offers wide range rafting option on the Indus and its main branches. However, the best option for white water is between Spituk and Saspol on the Indus. But, it should be noted that this water sport require special skill and the rafter need to be expert before trying hands in this adventure freak. A satisfactory arrangement for rescue coverage is an important pre- requisite for embarking upon a white-water expedition on a river like Zanskar.</p>
<p><strong>MOUNTAINEERING</strong></p>
<p>The walking, hiking, backpacking and climbing on mountains all comes under mountaineering. Generally the climbing season starts from mid-May and exists till mid-October. However, the most appropriate period for mountain climbing in Ladakh is from June to September as this is the time when Ladakh remains unaffected by the monsoon. However all foreign expeditions are required to get permission from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation for climbing all listed peaks.</p>
<p>Now, you must be thinking of exploring all these wonderful adventurous sports option. For this you need a well-organized travel agency to arrange a systematic tour for you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first thought about <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cheapholidays.com/tenerife.html" target="_blank">Tenerife holidays</a>, I immediately thought of loud bars and nightclubs, stag and hen parties and just general mayhem &#8211; After holidaying there several times, I now realise that it has a lot more than this to offer holidaymakers of all ages.</p>
<p>Tenerife is a volcanic island, hence its main attraction being Mount Teide &#8211; the volcano. Teide is open to visitors all year round and is located in the North of the island, along with the resort of Puerto de la Cruz. I visited this resort for the day and was pleasantly surprised, although more suited to an older clientele, it had nice beaches and a big tourist attraction called the &#8216;Loro Parque&#8217;, which is a bird/animal park that really does make for a great value day out.</p>
<p>Further South, you can find the resorts of Los Gigantes and Las Caletillas along the East coast, which make for a quieter, more relaxed holiday with little fishing harbours and cafés to unwind.</p>
<p>Golf del Sur is another popular resort, only a 5 minute drive from Tenerife South Airport. This has been a firm favourite for years, with golfers originally, but has now grown into a popular tourist resort for all age groups. There are several golf courses nearby and many more further South in Playa de las Americas and Costa Adeje.</p>
<p><span id="more-249"></span>Along the Southern-most coastline, you can find 3 resorts that interconnect with each other. Los Cristianos, home to the major harbour ferrying visitors to and from La Gomera, is again a versatile resort suitable for people of all ages. A ten minute walk will bring you to Playa de las Americas &#8211; the firm favourite for clubbers and partygoers! Although it can get lively, steer clear of &#8216;The Strip&#8217; and you&#8217;ll experience a nice resort with a great beach and many cafés, bars, shops and restaurants.</p>
<p>Now to my personal favourite! <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cheapholidays.com/costa-adeje.html" target="_blank">Costa Adeje</a> &#8211; A relatively new resort, which houses many new 4 and 5 star hotels. There&#8217;s a man-made, sandy white beach in Costa Adeje, with a brand new shopping centre, promenade with exclusive little cafes, bars and restaurants. Although only a ten minute walk further on, you&#8217;ll feel as though you&#8217;re a world away from the hustle and bustle of Playa de las Americas. A lovely place to visit for a quiet, rather upmarket holiday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sea turtles are very intelligent creatures of nature; they continue coming to Puerto Vallarta regardless of the swine flu scare, the border town drug wars, or the global recession! They don&#8217;t visit Vallarta for its perfect climate, its eight beautiful golf courses, its world class deep sea fishing, its hundreds of fine restaurants, nightclubs and discotheques, its magnificent sunsets, or the colorful tropical flora and fauna in the surrounding Sierra Madre hillsides; they visit Vallarta strictly for its 35 miles of sandy beaches. However, the fact that they love the beaches around PV is only a small clue as to what makes the sea turtles so incredibly intelligent.</p>
<p>Sea turtles constitute a single radiation that was distinct from all other turtles during the Late Cretaceous Period, the &#8220;age of dinosaurs&#8221;, at least 100 million years ago. It&#8217;s hard to imagine that approximately 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous–Tertiary Extinction Event (KT Mass Extinction), the planet endured catastrophic events such as massive asteroid impacts and/or tremendous volcanic activity resulting in significant climate changes affecting all of the Earth&#8217;s plant and animal life. Sea turtles were among the few species to survive these traumatic events and related climate changes.</p>
<p><span id="more-30"></span></p>
<p>Today, there are only seven living species of sea turtles worldwide and members of five or six of these species manage to visit Vallarta annually. Six of the seven species have hard shells and only one has a soft shell; it&#8217;s the leatherback turtle, the largest of them all and a periodic visitor to Vallarta. The leatherbacks grow for 30 years, from hatchlings weighing about an ounce, to maturity weighing up to 1,300 pounds and measuring up to 7 feet long and 5 feet wide; they can live to be more than 80 years old.</p>
<p>Although sea turtles representing most of the species visit Vallarta, the majority of them are of the Olive Ridley species. They are much smaller than the leatherbacks, measuring less than 3 feet long and weighing just a little over 100 pounds with dark olive green heart shaped domed shells.</p>
<p>The Olive Ridley turtles hatch from their eggs weighing less than an ounce, crawl out of their buried nest clawing their way up to the surface of the sand, and then head directly to the water to begin life with approximately 100 siblings at their side. They are quite fortunate if they ever make it to the water; if certain predators (including thoughtless humans) don&#8217;t get them while they are still in the shell, many other predators such as crabs and birds are anxiously awaiting their journey across the beach to the water&#8217;s edge. Of course, as soon as these tiny delicious morsels hit the water, any fish in the area immediately welcome them as dinner! Consequently, a very small percentage of these infant sea turtles ever make it out to the open sea.</p>
<p>Of the few fortunate sea turtles that do survive their entrance into this cruel world, growing to maturity, which will take more than 15 years, is a formidable task. If certain fish do not get them during their first year of life, fishermen with long lines or nets are apt to accidentally catch them at any time during their maturing process, let alone at any time during their adult life. With the odds of survival stacked so heavily against the sea turtles, they are now considered to be either a threatened or an endangered species; the Olive Ridleys along the Mexican Pacific coastline are classified as an endangered species by the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).</p>
<p>Okay, now that we know a little about these prehistoric air breathing reptiles, what is it that makes them so incredibly intelligent? Well, first you have to give them credit for surviving throughout history while almost all other forms of life didn&#8217;t! Second, they were perhaps the first creatures to have global positioning systems (GPS)! Yes, 100 million years before we mere mortals invented the GPS, the sea turtles, with their high sensitivity to the Earth&#8217;s magnetic field, always knew where they were relative to where they were born. Just imagine, these prehistoric creatures are able to swim a couple thousand miles out to sea, enjoy life floating and swimming around in the open water for up to 80 years while never losing their bearings, and still remember exactly where they were born!</p>
<p>Because of their incredible ability to always know their own location, upon reaching maturity at the age of 15 years or older, the females that are ready to lay their eggs always return to the sandy beach where they were born. Consequently, for about five months every year, the beaches of Puerto Vallarta are home to hundreds of female sea turtles that come ashore to nest. These are the same females that hatched on the same beautiful beaches from 15 to 50 years ago! Thus, with a lot of luck, and today with much assistance, a new generation of sea turtles begins.</p>
<p>In certain areas along the Pacific coastline of Mexico, the Olive Ridley sea turtles invade the shore in &#8220;arribadas&#8221; of 100 or more at a time, however in Puerto Vallarta they are generally either alone or in very small groups scattered thinly over the beach. Because of their scarcity, their homecoming to the local beaches has become a significant tourist attraction for visitors to Vallarta. More importantly, today there is a small group of volunteer conservationists, the Western Ecological Society, in Vallarta that does everything possible to protect these endangered animals. This group was first organized in 1993 and since then has done everything possible to see that the eggs and hatchlings are protected from all predators, thus giving the next generation of sea turtles a much better chance of survival. For those of you interested in knowing more about their activities, you can visit their website at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://vallartanature.org/english_index.html" target="_blank">Vallarta Nature</a> and see a documentary video of local volunteers protecting turtles produced by Puerto Vallarta based Aviana Productions at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://avianaproductions.com/documentary/turtles.html " target="_blank">Protecting Turtles</a>.</p>
<p>In some respects, the intelligent sea turtles of Vallarta think in a manner similar to that of the smarter tourists that visit Vallarta; once they’ve been here, they continue returning! So, if you&#8217;ve never visited this magnificent Banderas Bay region of Mexico, perhaps it&#8217;s time you consider it. Not only will you see and do everything imaginable under ideal weather conditions in a region that can only be defined as Paradise, but from June through December, you&#8217;ll also be able to observe the nesting habits of these prehistoric sea turtles with their built in GPS and long distance navigation systems.</p>
<p>Picture yourself sitting in one of the many beachfront restaurants sipping a margarita after watching a glorious sunset as the main attraction, the highlight of the evening, begins; a handful of huge lumbering female sea turtles literally emerge from the water and crawl up the beach in front of your eyes in search for their nesting location. Although it&#8217;s usually too dark for filming, witnessing a sea turtle invasion is a sight that you&#8217;ll surely not soon forget!</p>

<p> The Taj Mahal attracts above three million visitors a year, all deeply moved by its romance and beauty and the amazing skills of 17th century Mughal craftsmen.<br /> Located on the bank of the Yamuna river, three km south of Agra, the Taj Mahal took 22 years to complete at a cost of trillions of dollars by today’s currency. Twenty thousand men and over 1000 elephants were working on the project, using material from India and Asia, as far as China and Afghanistan.<br /> The Taj Mahal was declared a World Heritage site in 1983 and measures are in place to protect it from pollution. Tourist coaches and cars are kept well away from the gate and access is on foot or by electric vehicle.<br /> Taj Mahal, Agra Monument to Love<br /> India’s top World Heritage site was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his favourite wife, Mumtaz begum, who died aged 38, giving birth to their 14th child. She had never left her husband’s side, even during his military campaigns, and the inconsolable Emperor promised he would build the most beautiful mausoleum ever seen.<br /> True to his word, Emperor Shah Jahan set to work with his first architect to design the world’s most celebrated monument to love. Later, deposed and imprisoned by his son in Agra’s red fort, the Emperor gazed from afar at the marble dome mirrored in the river, grieving until the day he died. He now rests with Mumtaz in the Taj Mahal.<br /> Beautiful Taj MahalCovered in white marble, inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones, a stunning display of floral and geometrical patterns, Arabic calligraphy. Raised on a plinth, it is topped by a white onion dome and framed by four minarets, detached from the mausoleum to minimize damage in an earthquake.<br /> A day is barely enough to appreciate the fine Mughal craftsmanship, from latticed marble screens to decorated archways, from pietra dura to gilded finials. Inside, visitors gaze in silence at the imperial cenotaphs placed above the actual tombs The magnificent entrance gate faces the mausoleum, some 275 meters away, while to ensure symmetry, the red sandstone mosque on the west side of the gardens is mirrored by a replica rest house to the east.<br /> Taj Mahal Garden<br /> Like all Mughal Emperors, Shah Jahan was fond of gardens. Laid out in classical style, the Taj Mahal Persian Gardens are said to symbolise the four rivers and garden of Paradise. Leading to the mausoleum at the far end, they are divided into four sections, a holy number in Islam, each one subdivided into 16 beds. English lawns have replaced many of the original fruit trees and shrubs but the symmetry and feeling of space remain breathtaking.<br /> Water channels and fountains enhance this peaceful oasis, regardless of crowds, while the central pool reflects the mausoleum in all its splendour. The gardens are enclosed by red sandstone walls on three sides but open towards the river.<br /> <a rel="nofollow"  target="_blank" href="http://shamsem.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">please click here</a></p>
