We always think that autumn in Alberta is kind of boring, after having spent so much time in Europe. But it's really quite beautiful and colourful, and there are a lot of fun Fall Festivals, or Harvest Festivals, going on in the smaller towns. It's always a joy to spend time with family and to play tourist in the area where I grew up.

I spent a couple of days in the Sierra Nevada mountains, recently. Did some relatively easy hiking (added two small summits to my list), and enjoyed the beautiful early fall weather with virtually no people in the mountains. I like it that way, lol.

Sometimes sight-seeing is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get to see. Lol. I went to Merida, Spain, to see the famous, 2000-year old Roman theatre, and saw some amazing and unique murals instead.

The Natural Park of Posets–Maladeta, located in the northeastern part of the Aragonese Pyrenees, Spain, is a spectacular stretch of alpine landscapes. Created in 1994, it is known for its towering peaks, pristine lakes, and diverse wildlife. It contains some of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees, including Aneto (3,404 meters) and Posets (3,375 meters) and is a home to one of the last remaining glacial regions in the Pyrenees.
The park offers numerous hiking and biking trails, climbing routes, and opportunities for other outdoor activities. Whether you're a experienced mountaineer or simply looking for a peaceful escape, it offers something for everyone. It is a true gem of the Pyrenees.

From Wiki: Nimes, a city in the Occitanie region of southern France, was an important outpost of the Roman Empire. It’s known for well-preserved Roman monuments such as the Arena of Nimes, a double-tiered circa-70 A.D. amphitheater still in use for concerts and bullfights. Both the Pont du Gard tri-level aqueduct and the Maison Carree white limestone Roman temple are around 2,000 years old.

If you ever in Lausanne, Switzerland, and an art is your thing, a visit to the Plateforme 10 is a must. Opened in 2022, Plateforme 10 is an art district comprising three museums: the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts , the Photo Elysee, and the Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts. You won’t be disappointed.
Of course you can go the Olympic Museum instead, and waste 20 Euros on supporting one of the most corrupted organizations on the planet.
