Michael Shapiro: "Frank Lloyd Wright aimed to create buildings that were 'a grace to the landscape, rather than a disgrace.'

"Perhaps his earthiest structure is the interlinked set of low-slung buildings that were his home for the last 22 years of his astonishingly productive life: Taliesin West, in the foothills of Arizona's McDowell Mountains." Read "Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright's Arizona home, Taliesin West, still marvelous after 75 years" online at Dallas Morning News.

Margie Goldsmith: "It's a hot and humid 92 degrees in Dubai as I head for the Mall of the Emirates, a 2,400,352-square-foot behemoth with the first indoor ski run in the Middle East, "Ski Dubai." The huge dome offers five runs including the world's first indoor black diamond run with a 200-foot drop." Read "Ski Dubai" online at SKI.

Andy Isaacson: "If careening downriver at 50 miles per hour in a boat that came within inches of jagged cliff walls hadn't woken me up and floating backwards through a swirling rapid named Toilet hadn't elicited a big enough dose of epinephrine, there was always the possibility that plunging to the depths of a canyon with my arms outstretched would empty my adrenaline reserves." Read "High-Flying Adventure" online on the Wall Street Journal.

Todd Pitock: "Bike tours that wind through picturesque villages and wine-growing lands, past grand villas and centuries-old castles are commonplace in Europe. But this trip wasn't through France, England or Italy--our journey took place in the southern Czech Republic..." Read "Bohemian Rhapsody on Two Wheels" online on the Wall Street Journal.

Also by Todd: "During a recent trek along a mountain trail in the central Colorado Rockies, I found signs of those who had come before me. These weren't fellow hikers, though, but soldiers." Read "Step by Step, Hut by Hut in Colorado" online on the The New York Times.

Laura Byrne Paquet: "My husband and I stood uncertainly on the front step of a tall, 17th-century canal house in Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District. We'd never done anything like this before, and we weren't at all sure how it was going to turn out." Read "Guess we're coming to dinner in Amsterdam" which won Best Cultural/Historical Feature by the Travel Media Association of Canada.

Sarah Wildman: "Unlike most Jews who survived the Holocaust, Hanni has plenty of good things to say about her years under Nazi occupation." Read "Hanni's Story" in Slate.
