Agriculture Department - Washington DC
Agriculture Department. In 1862, when President Abraham Lincoln founded the U.S. Department of Agriculture, he called it the ""people's Department."" In Lincoln's day, 90 percent of the people were farmers who were in need of good seed and information to grow their crops. Today, USDA continues Lincoln's legacy by serving all Americans, the two percent who farm as well as everyone who eats, wears clothes, lives in a house, or visits a rural area or a national forest.

Cafe Gerbaud - Budapest - Hungary
This place is really a gem. It is elegantly furnished in French chairs and round marble topped tables. The drapes are heavy velvet. In summer all the windows in Gerbaud's open out onto the square where it sits. The view is of the most fashionable people. The loyal staff has kept this place going continuously since the turn of the century. The pastries are magical. This place attracts a certain style of, person. Definitely upscale, stylish and intellectual.

Krenborg Castle - Copenhagen - Denmark
Behind the walls of Kronborg Casttle dwells the story of Hamlet - prince of Denmark. To many people this is as genuine and closely related to the castle as are the historical persons who actually have lived in Kronborg. But - alas - Hamlet is only alive as a character in the play by William Shakespeare. Numerous stagings of the play - on the castle and many other places - have kept the myth alive since the 17.th century. Hence is Kronborg known as Hamlets Castle, and Elsinore as Hamlets town throughout the world.
