Map Gallery Wall Update!

One of my first posts on this blog was putting up my gallery wall of travel maps in the hallway. I love to travel and I love to collect the maps that I used to get around all those cities. I decided last year to start framing the maps and putting them on display in my home- it also takes care of the problem of filling up a 15 foot wall in a skinny hallway. I wish I had thought of this project from the beginning of my traveling days since I had to buy or print off some maps to make up the collection.

Sorry for the dark, skewed photos- my hallway (from the front door to the main condo space) is evil to photograph. Even with my wide angle lens I couldn't get the whole thing in one frame without angling it!! And the camera just refuses to pick up light down there- even if I crank the ISO.

Anywho! When I went to Mexico City last year I added in that map by kicking out a map that wasn't really relevant (it was a theme park map). And I went to Boston this summer so I decided to pick up two more frames and build on the existing gallery. I decided to only include cities that I explored in this collection- so even though I have also been to Jamaica and Dominican Republic, I have not included those on the wall. My walls- my rules :)

Since I had a spare frame now, and no trips planned in the near future (sadface), I decided to make a little placeholder!

I don't think I have had one new guest come to the condo who hasn't tried to figure out what all the cities in the maps are. And since only a couple of maps explicitly state the city it can be pretty challenging! So I made a little key for people to try an match up- and they are in no particular order!

Can you guess the city?

 

 

I did my best to get the images as big and clear as possible- good luck!
