Travel Challenge

Here's an invitation to set fellow bloggers a specific task to complete when away from their desktops on location.

To get the ball rolling:

Delhi - discover Sultana Raziya's tomb in Old Delhi

Damascus - where's the sign that reads 'severe your connection with the created and establish a connection with the Creator'?

Istanbul - find the obelisk in Sultan Ahmet

Andalusia- spot the 'baby chick tears' dining out in Granada

Keep those suggestions flowing.
