Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
Fish Out of Water
Carmel, California. 2006. The first time I remember seeing the ocean. The first memory not on faded photographs, but in my mind. I wear a yellow sundress, brand new and already stained with ketchup. The water is clear, cool, and blue. The sand is hot under my bare feet; it clings to my toes. The sun is blinding. I squint at Grandpa Jim as he takes my picture, pose for the disposable camera. I stand in the ocean, hands about my head, thrilled to be standing in the Pacific Ocean – the real one, like you see on maps. I am ten years old and wish I could stay here. I don’t want to return to Ontario, to somewhere so far from this beach. Or any beach.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum
I visited the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum during a short visit I made to Baltimore in June 2006, which was the only time I have ever been to the United States. It was the last day of my stay in the city, the conference I had attended was over, and I had time to kill before leaving for the airport and an evening flight home. Railways have always been a keen interest of mine, and the museum was an obvious place to go.

Florida's Grayton Beach State Park #30A
If I was making a list of the most beautiful things on the planet, somewhere between my kids and pizza would be the state parks of Florida's South Walton County. The coastal dunes, the mix of freshwater and saltwater, the forests and hiking trails, it is just the perfect combination of different environments. A little bit of everything, as long as you aren't looking for mountains I suppose.

death valley
Death Valley is a desert valley in eastern California north of the Mojave Desert near the Great Basin. The hottest, dryest, and lowest national park and the most extreme of lands. Death Valley is one of the hottest places on earth, much hotter than the deserts of the Middle East and the Sahara in summer.

Bonneville Salt Flats
There are many places that people hear about and immediately think that it will be fun. Museums, foreign countries and cities, unimaginable landscapes, and exciting amusement parks are all exciting places to visit. People don’t think ‘exciting’ when they hear the words ‘salt flats’. It sounds boring. There is nothing there. What could you possibly do on salt flats? The answer: walk. You drive and drive so you can get to walk on some salt. Despite the unappealing description, it is very much worth it.
