Travel
I have done a lot of traveling. I enjoy experiencing new cultures and beautiful landscapes. I have listed my favorite places and at least one reason why I enjoy them.
New England (e.g., New Hampshire where we lived for 2 years, Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts): Beautiful landscape throughout the year, but especially during autumn (here, Robert Frost's poetry comes alive)Romantische Strasse, Germany: Historic and beautiful towns, cathedrals, farmlands.
