Treetops Hotel, located within Aberdare National Park, Kenya. Constructed as a two-room viewing point for hunting in 1932, it had expanded to four rooms by the time Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip visited in 1952. Without knowing it, the princess became queen while sleeping there, which gave huge publicity to the hotel. Burned down by rebels in 1954, it was rebuilt nearby, then rebuilt again, eventually extending to 35 rooms.

Iga, Japan

Iga was the origin of one of the two most well-known ninja traditions in Japan. It was also the birthplace of Bashō, the most famous poet of the Edo period. You may know him from his work, “The Narrow Road to the Deep North.”
(I came across this sign in a tourist parking area near a Ninja museum.)

Klickitat Street, Portland, Oregon

Despite having spent a week in Portland, I was completely ignorant of Klickitat Street and the Quimbys. Surprisingly, they did not come up in the proceedings of the supercomputing conference I was attending.
