Also, I visited one of the world’s most wonderful natural sites, the Jeita Grotto. I had never been inside of a cave as deep and spectacular as this –imagine Wagner’s fairytale Grotto of Venus for real. Truly magnificent, magical place.

Vote here for the Jeita Grotto to make it onto the list of the world's new seven natural wonders:
