Places – United States

This is where Zennie and I started our travels – in the USA. The map shows the places we traveled together.

Of course, I’ve gone to more places without Zennie, and she’s gone other places without me. I’m not including those here, to avoid those awkward discussions… 😉

Wherever we’ve gone, we’ve discovered beautiful and fascinating places. Some are magnificent and awe-inspiring, others small and charming, but all of them are wonderful to experience.

Time after time, I arrive somewhere and wish I could spend longer — a week here or a month there would be wonderful! It would be easy to spend a lifetime exploring the US, but there’s still the rest of the world to see, too… 😀
