District of Columbia

Worth visiting!

My Birthplace

There’s more than just the government and monuments and memorials and museums. Though nothing in comparison to Vegas or New York, there is a decent night life and a decent number of cultural activities that will fit just about any taste.

Blue Ridge Assemply Conference Center

Worth visiting!

I'll be here in August

“Nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains near Asheville, North Carolina, YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly is a full-service conference center situated on 1200 acres of woodland beautified by mountain streams, wildflowers, ridges, valleys and spectacular views.”

The 22nd US Go Congress will be held here. Will probably only have one day free to go see anything, but would like suggestions on what to go see (keep in mind I’ll have very little to spend).

Most beautiful scenery

I’ve never personally scene any place as strikingly beautiful. Can’t wait to go back again and again.

Quaint town

I visited here for a week a number of years ago, visiting friends in the service. Would like to go back when I have some understanding of the language in order to do it properly.

Taos

Worth visiting!

Art and beautiful scenery.

Stayed for a couple days at the SageBrush inn and got to visit the Fechin museum. I highly recommend both. Also had good Thai food and chai and not so good sushi.

Gatlinburg

Worth visiting!

Strange mix of kitsch and class

Just drove through quickly about a week ago. Lovely buildings on main street, but I got the impressiong that one good earthquake and it would look like any strip mall in the U.S.. Hope to find out how the real thing compares to my impressions that day.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Beautiful Scenery

Just drove through about a week ago. Look forward to going back some time when I have time to properly appreciate it.

Pigeon Forge

Worth visiting!

Possible world capital of tacky

Just drove through about a week ago. In terms of a kitschy, carnival atmosphere, I’ve never seen anything like it. It vied w. Vegas and Disney and the Ocean City boardwalk. I hope to go back and do all the corny rides and activities.
