Presidio Modelo

Cool looking abandoned former prison on Juventud Island in Cuba. Apparently it was based on a prison in Illinois where they had a guard in the middle and all the prisoners circularly surrounding the center so the prisoners wouldn't know if they were being observed or something. Weird, possibly controversial, possibly tragic, but today it's a historic site that has an interesting setting.

Pungo Andongo

Neat bunch of pretty large rocks in northern Angola. There seem to be various rock landscapes in the area. Probably some great views are available in this region.

Alhambra

Famous Moorish (I think) palace in southern Spain. Looks quite pretty in various ways.

Hoba Meteorite

Apparently a big meteorite. i think a meteorite is what happens when the meteor lands on earth so now its a meteorite not a meteor. Anyway, something to see in Namibia.
