This is my favorite national park. I love volcanoes and this is the mother of all volcanoes. I also love buffalo herds crossing the road and making traffic stop. And of course they have Old Faithful here. And it is the world's first National Park.
Yellowstone National Park
I love the Louvre Museum because it is so large that you can easily get lost in it, and we have. It has Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Winged Victory De Samothrace, and so much more that you must spend a whole day there to see a decent amount of the artwo...
Louvre Museum
This is my second favorite national park after Yellowstone. Two of the greatest hikes I have ever done are at Zion National Park. The second photo here is of The Narrows hike, and the third photo is of Angel's Landing hike. Both of these hikes are a...
Zion National Park
This section of the Great Wall is about 1 and a half hours northeast of Beijing. I wanted to visit this section because it is not quite so busy as is Badaling section of the Wall. The town at Mutyanu section is small with a few nice restaurants. The...

Santa Fe Plaza
This is an iconic world landmark even though it was built in relatively recently. (About 15 years ago). The observation tower is an ABSOLUTE must see place in NYC. You will be able to view all of NYC walking around the building at its 101st floor. A...
One World Trade Center
I love Portland Art Museum. Their permanent displays are very interesting and guaranteed to be worth a good 2 hours of your time. When we went, they had a traveling exhibit of Europe artworks from Monet To Matisse. We were able to photograph some ver...

It was in Glacier National Park, where we saw those cute animals that look like Pikachu. I think they are called Pikas.We also saw a bear on the side of the road and a couple of mountain goats 🐐. We were on the Going to the Sun, and it is true sens...

The MET is big. The MET is exexciting. The MET is overwhelming. There are not enough hours each day to see everything. The whole world is professionally represented here. We will have to visit the MET a second time to see more of the exhibitions.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
This is an excellent museum like burial mausoleum for Napoleon Bonaparte and some of his family members and military officers. The gold dome is the only gold dome on any building in Paris. Napoleon Bonaparte's casket is placed in several caskets tha...

Supai is a wonderful place to visit if you want to go somewhere that is more like a town in a previous century before the mass production of motor vehicles. In Supai, your only transport is by foot, horse, or donkey. It is a Native American village n...

This is one of the best observation decks in NYC. People think you should go to the top of the Empire State Building for a great view, but although it is a nice view, the problem is that you can not see the Empire State Building. No, I think the best...
Top of The Rock
The cool thing about the second photo is that I actually took a couple of photos from the very same place this photo was taken. Anyway, this observation deck is fantastic even though we are not able to go all the way around the building, that is all ...
