marylander1940 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Underrated! Niterói Contemporary Art Museum - Wikipedia Don't judge by the picture, it's in Niterói across the Guanabara bay from Rio. I felt I was entering a flying saucer and I'm sure that was the impression Niemeyer had in mind. Mission accomplished! + azdr0710 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a brief fling with a Haitian guy years ago in Montreal. He was extremely tall and extremely black, just a gorgeous guy. But he went back to Haiti in the 70s and I never saw him again. He was named Max and had a fashion business named MaxSwell. + WilliamM and marylander1940 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marylander1940 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Caernarfon Castle - Wikipedia underrated, it's amazing how big it feels once you're there and how little time it took to be built. Impressive, and well preserved. It was popular when Prince Charles was crowned but in a land with so many castles somehow is not huge touristic attraction.

Rockey Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Overrated was La Sagrada Familia. The most boring church I have stepped in. Underrated is Independence Hall, which is right in my back yard. It's interesting how small it is, and yet it stokes emotions when viewing the rooms/tables and chairs as they were in 18th century.
