Escapism

Posted at 8:43 AM on March 14, 2008 by Bob Collins

While on my way to write a post about a father who forced his daughter to kill the family cat, I realized, "do we really need more of that? No. No, we don't.

Here's what we need today: We need to dream about cool things in far-off lands. And so, I'll be searching for neat travelogues today.

For example, here's one from the Guardian site. In the forests north of Angkor Wat in Camobia, a series of mysterious rock carvings line the banks and peer out from under the Kbal Spean river.

Something a little closer to home? The New York Times has a slideshow about spending 36 hours in Pasadena.

If Pasadena isn't your thing, how about Prague? (Just added today)

And they're coming out of hibernation on Cape Cod.

Put your headphones on in your cubicles and escape. Don't worry; the news will still be here when you get back.

If you've got a slideshow of a recent trip, put the URL in the comments section, and we'll review it and add it. If you're looking for tips on how to make a good travel slideshow, go here.
