But then there’s also this relationship with the countryside, where a couple of times a year you’ll see 2 million pilgrims walking through the city, some of them on horseback, some of them walking on their knees, to follow the Virgin of Zapopan as she goes from the Guadalajara Cathedral all the way over to Zapopan. We talk about some of the local markets like San Juan de Dios Market (St Johnny) and Paul’s favorite market Mercado de Abastos which focuses more on food.

Banff National Park is Canada’s first National Park. Locals tend to go to a place called Kanaskis and Kanaskis is about a 30-minute drive closer to Calgary than Banff is equally as beautiful with tons of hiking, also ski hills, lots of cross country tracks, some nice resorts, some nice camping options, some great glamping options in a teepee or a trappers tent.

Hear about travel to the Yamaguchi Prefecture of Japan as the Amateur Traveler talks to Dr. Corinne Devine who is stationed there with the U.S. Navy. Corinne recommends the wonderful visitor center in Hagi which has a 16-minute video on the origins of the industrial revolution in Japan. A lot of European cities have fabulous Christmas markets, I’ve visited many, but outside of Germany, in my opinion, those in Manchester are the best. In recent years they’ve grown massively, as well as the artisan gifts you can buy they’re a great place for food & drink.

Hear about walking Hadrian’s Wall as the Amateur Traveler talks to Larissa Milne from Changes in Longitude about their 10-day trek of this old Roman Wall across Northern England. Hadrian’s Wall is a wall that is located in the north of England, just about along England’s border with Scotland. But within there, we took two days that where we did not go along the walk, we didn’t necessarily call them rest days per se because we did still do a fair amount of walking and exploring somewhere along the way, but it was more to see some of the sites that were there that we felt demanded more attention than just a 10 or 20 minute walk through. right click here to download (mp3) Hadrian’s Wall Changes in Longitude Hadrians Wall Ltd Carlisle Lanercost Priory Bowness-on-Solway Chesters Roman Fort and Museum Birdoswald Roman Fort Vindolanda Newcastle upon Tyne Segedunum Roman Fort Carrawburgh Roman Fort and Temple of Mithras
