Until the 16th century, Colmcille's monastery defined the island. In Toraigh, the most remote of all the inhabited Irish isles, tradition and high spirits abound. A Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region), this island is fiercely proud of its folklore, music and dance. A haven for artists, the beauty of this small island has inspired the imagination for generations. Other landmarks of note include the Lighthouse, the Wishing Stone, and Balor's Fort. An interesting fact is that this island traditionally elects its own king - the only place in Ireland to do so.

Constructed by the same builders who erected the Musee du Louvre in Paris, Château De Lanquais is a spectacular Renaissance palace surrounded by lush greenery in the Dordogne countryside.

The Utah Olympic Park hosted the 2002 Olympic Winter Games as a prime competition venue. It held Nordic jumping, bobsled, luge, and skeleton. Now there are nearly 400 acres of sporting facilities and visitor areas that can accommodate over 300,000 people. Watch athletes in training, explore the Alf Engen Ski History Museum and the 2002 Eccles Winter Olympic Museum. There are daily guided tours of the Olympic competition sites, public bobsled rides, starting in December, and chair lifts to the K120 Ski Jump’s summit.
