Travel blogs of the week
#1 Let's travel together #61 - The Stan Valley (Valea lui Stan)
I haven't read a post this exciting for a while now. It's an adrenaline rush infused walkthrough The Stan Valley aka The Blood Valey, located in Romania, it's an 4.5h long circuit that connects Transfagarasn, Stan Valley, CΔlugΔriΘa Glade and Vidraru Dam. Hopefully without spoiling anything, I'll just mention that during the trip there were some lives in danger, switch from spring to winter in a couple of minutes and a bear sight. 
#2 Neo-Gothic Church Las Lajas Sanctuary
takes us to the southwest Colombia state of NariΓ±o and shows us a magnificent neo-ghotic style basilica church featuring breathtaking architecture, a religious myth of why it came to existence and a mysterious image of the Virgin Mary that nobody knows the autor of. Intrigued? Read more then.
