...From the home site, it's an easy stroll past the church where Mary sought solace after losing a son, then onto Sixth Street. At the corner of Sixth and Adams is a replica of the law offices of Lincoln & Herndon, and across the street is the Old State Capitol (where Barack Obama announced his presidential candidacy...
Initially, my four roommates and I were slated to spend the night there, wake up at a leisurely hour, and then stroll to the National Mall four blocks away in time for Barack Obama’s inauguration at noon.

...Aromatic lemongrass permeates the air as you stroll down gravel paths that lead toward a 140-ft. (42 m) bamboo bridge. It spans the Ayung River to link two sides of a 20-acre (eight hectare) campus set among rice terraces. As you traverse the whooshing rapids, you can take in a spring-fed infinity pool, a favorite after-school haunt of students like Chiara and Carina Hardy, the daughters of jeweler John Hardy, who, together with his wife Cynthia, founded Green School with profits from the 2007 sale of his eponymous Bali-based jewelry firm...
