Welcome to the Carnival of Cities blog carnival, where we tour the world in a single post, via submissions from a variety of different blogs, all about any aspect of one, single city or fair-sized town.
The previous Carnival edition was hosted on Edutech Musings, and you’ll find the next one (March 7, 2012) on Sheila’s Guide.
If you would like to host a future Carnival edition on your blog, please contact the Carnival organizer: Sheila “at” sheilascarborough “dot” com. Thanks!

Awesome carnival posts! Thanks for sharing them all and putting this carnival together
Beautiful variety, as always.
Thanks so much for continuing to maintain this carnival, Sheila. I know it’s often underestimated how much time it can take to maintain a blog carnival (and as a carnival-organizer myself, I should know), so I want you to know I very much appreciate you keeping CoC strong when other travel-related blog carnivals wither from neglect.
I’ve retweeted your post about this.
CoC rocks!
Thank you, Andrew! Sometimes I do wonder if it’s still worth it, but over time I’ve found so many interesting blogs and people (like you!) through the Carnival that I’m convinced to continue. Really appreciate your kind words….
