U.S.A.: Smokey Bear

Only you can prevent forest fires. That message from Smokey Bear has paid off!

This year, his 50th Golden Anniversary Smokey Bear says "watch out for forest fires"...

Portugal: Óbidos

Once the wedding present of a queen, the preserved medieval town of Óbidos lying 100 km north of Lisbon is without doubt one of Portugal's most classic walled settlements. Walking the ramparts, visitors can enjoy views of windmills, vineyards and surrounding farmlands. In the residential area below, narrow cobblestone streets are lined with whitewashed houses sporting terracotta roofs. The shops are piled high with local handicrafts, while in spring the town is ablaze with geraniums, morning glories and bougainvillaea.
