Scenery:
Boston was covered in snow in December 1993, cars were piled deep, got some neat photos though, I saw a burning car in LA, Elvis had a lot of gold records, New Orleans is pretty at night, watching the sun set from the Oasis in Austin is nice, New Mexico was hot, Arizona was hot, cactuses grow in the desert, you can't take a bad picture of the Grand Canyon, the Capitol Records tower is neat looking, I saw John Lennon's star, it's pretty bare in the badlands, Mount Rushmore is overrated, the Vietnam memorial in DC is tasteful, I moved to Arlington in 1994, it's got a beautiful bike trail, a quiet center, and a pretty pond, Niagara Falls is overrated, the sun rises over a turnpike town, and illuminates the snow covered landscape, nice cabbage
