My kind of exercise!!!
Never in a million years did I think I would ever be interested in a marathon, either participating or even watching as a spectator .....until now! I have now deemed this marathon the coolest in the world.....Le Marathon des Chateaux du Medoc. This marathon goes through 59 vineyards in the Medoc Region of France. Wine is served at the aid stations.....and water too for the uncool. Every year there is a theme in which the runners dress up in. A great excuse to drink wine and eat tons of carbs!

Door to the Dead? Necromanteion in Greece.
This was an ancient temple of necromancy,devoted to Hades and Persephone.Devotees believed this site to be the door to Hades, realm of the dead!
It was located on the banks of the Acheron river in Epirus, near the ancient city of Ephyra. This site is the meeting point of three rivers, which were believed to flow through the kingdom of Hades.The names of these three rivers translate as, "joyless","burning coals", and "lament".....creepy!
Nekromanteion means,"Oracle of Death", and the faithful would gather and talk with their late ancestors.This site was discovered only in 1958.
I had never heard of this place before today, sounds really cool,even though there isn't much left here to see really. Would totally be a mind trip to play around with Ouija boards here at night!!! This is one place in Greece I probably won't be going to....or will I?

So, you think you can do laps!??
The Guiness World Record for the world's largest pool is San Alfonso del Mar in Algarro, Chile. It is 1,000 meters long, 35 meters deep, covers an area of 19 acres, holds 66 million gallons, and cost 3.5 Million to build. I wonder how long it would take me to do a full lap? Hopefully, there is some swim up bars along the way!

A whole new meaning for Public Washroom!
This is a public washroom in Ephesus,Turkey. One time men could relax while listening to soothing live music while they did their thing! God help you if you farted, that would be embarrassing!
