It’s weird to have already been working in a place for 2 weeks (I know, not actually THAT long, but out of 9 weeks… that’s a good chunk of time) and just now be doing the whole exploring/tourist-y thing.  Below is a giant list of places I want to visit.  If anyone has any recommendations/advice, such as:  when to go to certain places (day of week/time of day), how long to expect to take at museums, etc… PLEASE let me know!!!  (FYI, this list is just in the order that they were in the lonely planet book)
