Friday Favorites: Australian banknotes, Boudin Bakery, and more

Every Friday, Googlers round up some of the best posts they came across during the week to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. This week, fascinating facts about Australian banknotes, a visit to Boudin Bakery, and more.

@MoniV : This week, I want to highlight the amazing post “Visit to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada” by Local Guide @ginapsallidas .This is her first post and it has mind-blowing photos! @ginapsallidas wenton a trip to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada with eight of her friends and her post truly conveys the great time they spent hiking there. I loved reading about her adventure and I’m sure you will too!

@IrrPavlova : I’ve always lovedLondon’s urban landscape. The great photos @AgataZietal shared in her post “Four days in London, UK” reminded me of my own trip to England’s capital and how much I loved wandering around and gazing at the architecture. In her story, @AgataZietal tells us about the different landmarks, museums, and parks she and her family visited. They walked around, tried out the London underground, and even took a ferry to cross the River Thames. If you want to enjoy the beauty of London’s most famous locations against a bright blue sky, then head over to @AgataZietal 's post.

@BorrisS : I’m a huge foodie and this week I loved Connect Moderator @JordanSB 's post “Boudin Bakery: Baking Delicious Sourdough Since 1849!” @JordanSB gives us a tour inside the famousBoudin Bakery in San Francisco, US, and tells us about the different kinds of bread he tried there. You can feel the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries just by looking at his photos! So, if you’re like me—a person who’s unable to resist a croissant—I suggest you have a look at @JordanSB 's post.

@AlexaAC : I remember how intrigued I was the first time I used Australian dollars, so I was delighted to read @JustineE ’s post “Australia the lucky country.” Her story is from #teamaustralia as part of the #LocalGuidesTeamChallenge initiated by Connect Moderator @ErmesT . @JustineE points out fascinating facts about Australian money, such as the tactile dot that allows visually impaired people to know the value of the banknote they’re holding or the fact that you can wash your money in the laundry machine without worrying that it’d fall apart! For more curious details, make sure to read @JustineE 's post.
