>
>SAN FRANCISCO, the world's most beautiful, friendly, architecturally,

>an excellent transportation system.
>
>LOS ANGELES for it's the future regardless of whether you like it. Good
>food, too.
>
>LAS VEGAS for its glitz, kitsch, delightfully gauche architecture (Los
>Angeles, too), good food, and culture (in the tourist areas) of greed.
>It is perhaps the most representative of the US of all its cities.
>
>NEW ORLEANS for its excellent food, lovely architecture, music, and
>culture unlike any other.
>
>CHICAGO for its museums and kosher food.
>
>WASHINGTON, District of Columbia, for its museums.
>
>MANHATTAN, New York for its museums and food and fascinating and
>friendly folk.

>If your interest is in natural wonders, this country probably has more
>per square area than any other on Earth. My favorite National and State
>Parks and Monuments, in no particular order, are: YOSEMITE, YELLOWSTONE,
>MOUNT LASSEN, BRYCE CANYON, ZION CANYON, GRAND CANYON, BLACK CANYON OF
>THE GUNNISON, NIAGARA FALLS, MUIR WOODS, CARLSBAD CAVERNS, DRY FALLS
>(Washington), SEQUOIA, BIG BASIN, DINOSAUR, OREGON CAVES.
> Just plain beautiful terrain (mostly rock and sandstone): The Burr
>Trail (Utah), the Phantom Canyon (Colorado), Southern Utah/Northern New
>Mexico, Big Sur, the Mendocino Coast, the Cascades (especially mounts
>Shasta and Hood).
> I also love Mesa Verde National Park, the canyons Chaco and Chelly,
>Bandelier National Monument.
> And "hidden" treasures such as Georgetown and Silver Plume (Colorado),
>Eureka, Bodie, Ferndale, and Santa Barbara (California), Frankfort
>(Kentucky), Columbus (Kansas I think. Haven't been there yet.), Virginia
>City (Nevada), California's Highway 49, and a great many others.

>Whatever it is that you like, food, people, architecture, natural
>wonders, archaeological sites, museums of art, history, natural history,
>or oddities, we have 'em all in abundance, often of astonishing quality.
