How NOT to hike the ridges behind Cristo Rei
On my third hike around Cristo Rei I was determined to follow the ridgeline of the hills behind it through to Hera Road to complete one of the most highly regarded hikes in Dili. I had studied the information I could find online and spoken to a couple of people who had done it but navigation when hiking in Timor-Leste is challenging at best. Read this to learn how NOT to do this hike, and take my…

Marijuana Buyers From Texas Fuel a ‘Little Amsterdam’ in New Mexico
In a desert valley along the Rio Grande in New Mexico, the city of Sunland Park has generally offered few amenities for its roughly 17,000 residents. No large grocery store. Few shops. Little to offer those uninterested in the racetrack casino or a hike to the gigantic cross of Cristo Del Rey that looms from a nearby mountaintop. But for Texans who live in El Paso, just over the state line,…

This charming and notoriously slow coastal city is a city that has suddenly found itself as the leading national capital after East Timor became an independent country in May 2002. Located on the northern coast of East Timor along the narrow plains between Timor and the mountain range that runs through the Ombai Strait, Dili is also the capital of the region of the same name. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMdEhU7WKOQ[/embed] Dili, a remote colonial city in a remote part of the world in colonial times, has now become the bearer of its rich heritage. With a pronounced Portuguese influence, Macau is probably the furthest eastern city where you can experience the most authentic Portuguese food and architecture. In the city, where a lot of violence took place during the referendum period after 1999, Dili, which had gone through a bad period when many buildings were burned and many infrastructures were destroyed, however, recovered in an extraordinary way. The south side of Dili, which is quite small, is surrounded by the Palacio Governo, the State Palace and impressive Government Buildings, and is referred to as the heart of the city. To the east, the commercial district of Lecidere was conceived as part of Portugal, to the west it is surrounded by Colmera and the old Central Market. Head west along the coastal road (Ave de Portugal) and you can follow the Portuguese Farol houses, several embassies and restaurant districts. To the east of the Comoro Road, which is quite touristic, is the region also called Metiaut. This place is famous for its seaside restaurants. Trip To Dili Cristo Rei: Standing on a ledge in the east of Dili, Cristo Rei, also known as the Statue of Christ, is one of the must-see places. Legend has it that the structure, built by mostly Muslim Indonesians as a gift to the mostly Christian East Timorese, was designed for Jesus to return to Jakarta. The statue is about 27 meters high and stands on a globe. Following the steps to the statue of Christ along the beach of Dili, the path passes through various niches representing popular and cross stations where international and local fishermen also gather to exercise. The view of the statue in Dili Bay is magnificent. Fatucama Beach, in the form of the letter C, just behind the statue, is fascinating with its clear sea. Museum of the Resistance: Located within the borders of Rua University, just near the center of Dili, this museum is the right address for those who are curious about what happened during East Timor's 25-year struggle for independence. Brave War Memorial: The monument, which is 10 kilometers away from the mountains along the main line of the south road, leans its back on a magnificent view. Next to this memorial to the Australian Sparrow Force, which fought the Japanese for several years in Timor, there is also a permanent exhibit on Timor's war experience. This part, where the visit is free, also hosts a cafe with a very wide view. Beaches: There are many beaches in Dili. Among these, Areia Branca, right next to Cristo Rei, is one of the cleanest and most popular. Since there are many bars and restaurants along this beach, this is a very lively area not only during the day but also at night. The Jesus Backside beach, which is also within walking distance of Cristo Rei, has an insatiable view lying at the foot of the mountain. Outdoor Sports: Dili is a unique opportunity for outdoor sports enthusiasts. Diving is available in the area between Dili and Aturo Islands. In addition, tours are organized to the Jaco Islands for those who desire a more distant route, and diving is offered in this region. Another popular activity in the area is hiking and climbing. Mountaineers from all over the world come to Mount Ramalau. It is the highest mountain in East Timor. Even if you are not a professional climber, you have the opportunity to climb the mountain, which can be freezing at night. Because many tour companies provide services in this regard.

👣 Consta que, após a ressurreição de Cristo – atendendo ao pedido de seu Mestre “vai e predica a todas as gentes, desde o princípio até o fim do mundo” – Tiago se dirigiu à Hispânia – em 34 d.C. 👣 Naquela época, a região da “Gallaecia” – mais concretamente “Finisterrae” – era considerada os confins da Terra. Acredita-se que foi em Iria Flávia, a cidade mais importante da região durante o período romano, que o apóstolo Tiago pregou pela primeira vez durante a sua evangelização neste território. 👣 Porém, sua pregação no continente europeu durou pouco e não alcançou um grande número de conversões ao cristianismo. 👣 Ao voltar a Jerusalém, Tiago revelou-se um dos principais evangelizadores da comunidade cristã, admirado por seu entusiasmo e pela sinceridade de suas palavras. Membro da Igreja Primitiva de Jerusalém, Tiago foi o primeiro bispo da cidade. 👣 Os Apóstolos estavam proibidos de pregar aos judeus, mas ignorando qualquer limite imposto, ele se manteve fiel à missão catequizadora. 👣 Cansado das infrações de Tiago, no ano 44 da era cristã, Abiathar – sumo sacerdote – inflamou uma multidão contra ele de forma que o levassem a Herodes Agripa I – Rei da Judéia. Ele foi preso, açoitado e decapitado. 👣 A sentença foi executada durante as festas da Páscoa e transformou Tiago “o Maior” no primeiro Apóstolo a derramar seu sangue pela fé em Jesus Cristo. 👣 Teodoro e Atanásio guiados por um anjo, em uma barca de pedra sem leme ou vela, levaram seu corpo e a sua cabeça de volta à Galícia. 👣 Após sete dias, aportaram nas areias de Padrón, onde amarraram a barca em uma coluna de pedra “El Pedrón”, a mesma que está sob o altar-mor da Igreja de Santiago de Padrón. 👣 👉 Gostou?

Cristo Rei viewpoints
Timor-Leste’s most popular tourist attraction, the 27m high Cristo Rei Jesus statue, is a great spot for stretching your legs and enjoying some of the best views in Dili. It is easy to reach Cristo Rei with the #12 microlet, costing just 25c. There is also extensive parking, which can be seen clearly after climbing the steps toward the statue. This was my second visit and I found a few new…

Reposted from @senderismocolombia Peñas Blancas, Pichinde Farallones De Cali - Me gustaría saber... Cuando les dejo indicaciones de como llegar ¿a alguien le ha servido? ¿Les gusta? Comenten comenten ⬇️ @mariadelmar.posada . . Aquí las indicaciones para llegar a este paraíso: ➡️ Desde Cali coger cómo si fueran a Cristo Rey (por el CAI de la circunvalar). ➡️ Al llegar a la entrada a Cristo Rey deben seguir derecho. ➡️ Se van a contrar la primera Y donde deben coger hacia Pichinde. ➡️ Después se toparan con el río, allí está la opción de subir hacia Pichinde o por abajo hacia Andes. Deben coger por debajo (izquierda) aquí la carretera ya se vuelve destapada, en algunas zonas solo con huella. ➡️ Después de aquí siempre que se encuentran una Y, deben coger hacia la derecha. ➡️ Llegarán a la tienda del señor ferney, también la llaman el cuadradero o su nombre original "La fonda" es donde llega la chiva. Allí ya están muy muy cerca, pueden dejar los carros allí y empezar a caminar. ➡️ Esta la opción de quedarse en el río o seguir a estas cascaditas DELICIOSAS. Para ir hacia las cascaditas deben coger el camino por ARRIBA, es decir no por el puente, si no por la carretera de la izquierda. ➡️ Caminan unos 5 min, y se encuentran una reja, van a pasar por un ladito e inmediatamente van a ver un camino por los árboles a su derecha. ➡️ Se meten por allí, el camino no es muy exigente y al minuto se encuentran en las primeras cascaditas que no son las de la foto pero son muy bonitas. ➡️ Pará las de la foto deben bajar un poco y listo 😍 a disfrutar del agua Heladaaaa 😅. . . Cualquier preguntan me pueden escribir. ⚠️ Recuerden no dejar basura, ser amables y tomarse muchas fotos ⚠️ . . . #senderismocol #colombia #andinismo #hiking #colombiatravel #travelColombia #senderismo #cascadas #paradizz_colombia 💛💛💙❤️ DIRECTORIO DE TURISMO únete a nuestra comunidad en Facebook: Paradizz Colombia https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5yB3Kj98J/?igshid=ptl9zc2ct5zb

Haute Homes: The Diverse Luxury Digs of America’s Priciest Neighborhoods
realtor.com
Think you know how the 1% lives? Blinged-out mansions with gold errythang, elaborate custom pool grotto, and maids and butlers scurrying down long, marble-tiled hallways? Sure, places like that exist, but the reality is, what’s considered the crème de la crème of real estate varies from state to state.
Recently, the realtor.com® data team crunched the numbers and pinpointed the most expensive ZIP codes in every state in America. Some were neighborhoods in big cities, some were entire towns in themselves. The list also took us on a fascinating tour of the best that each state in the nation has to offer: mansions set on rolling, emerald lawns in Greenwich, CT; historic brownstones in Boston; and picturesque horse farms in the suburbs of Louisville, KY.
We wanted to take a closer look at what’s on the market in those swanky areas, so we sifted through our listings. Whether you’re lucky enough to have deep pockets you can turn out to buy, or you just want to check out what luxury means in your state—and others—here are 12 homes for sale right now in America’s most expensive neighborhoods.
California: 90210 67 Beverly Park Ct., Beverly Hills
Price: $165 million Palazzo perfection: This estate on 9 acres took seven years to build and, according to the listing, is one of the “finest estates ever offered in Beverly Hills.” Completed in 1998, the main house has 20 bedrooms, 16 baths, and five half-bathrooms, and measures over 20,000 square feet.
There’s also a 30-car courtyard, pool and pool house, two two-story guesthouses, a tennis court, and jogging trail that circles the entire property. If that’s not enough room for you and the fam, there’s another lot available to expand.

Colorado: 81654 1220 Watson Divide Rd., Snowmass
