>America is the the most beautiful country I have ever visited,(at least >the states i was in-VT, NYS, Maine and NH and CT) and I have visted >about 30 countries. > Well Colin.. when you come back you must visit the south and the west. My favorite states in no particular order are:Kentucky,Tennessee,Arizona,Nevada,California,Colorado. Kentucky is a definite because it is close to my heart. And of course Ky has one of the seven (natural)wonders of the world:Mammoth Cave. Oh and so much more!! You have the Lexington area when at times the grass really does look blue and time does really seem to have stood still. And you can see the horses grazing and running knowing there are potential Kentucky Derby winners behind those white wooden fences. And in the distant you can see these beautiful estates that resemble Tara. Also,Ky has more natural lakes than any other state. In the capital, Frankfort, where I visited many times as a child (my aunt and uncle lived there along with their seven daughters)you have Civil War museums. IF you travel into Frankfort the old state route and not the highway you can see the stone walls that the slaves built with their blood,sweat and tears. Quite a place to stop and reflect. Daniel Boone and wife,Rebecca, are buried high up in a cemetery that overlooks the capitol and Ky river. Quite Picturesque! (great place to picnic) Oh yeah!! The place smells of whiskey......Kentucky bourbon that is. There are several distilleries right outside of town. I'll leave it here.
How many years ago were you in the states? Any surprises? Or were things just as you thought they would be? Bree _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
