In my last revisit to Philadelphia I got to see two new attractions I have not been on my first visit to the city. One of my favorite things to do in any city is get to an observation deck
National Museum of Cinema : Torino Italy
I love specialty museums, and I love the cinema, and so there is little that can excite me as coming across a cinema specialty museum, like the one I found out about when visiting Turin. It’s one of the best
Around Trinidad town : Cuba
