Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #15 the version of the USA we are presented with in our media is even more fantastical and mindboggling than Disney

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #15 that would definitely be my plan, I genuinely consider cities such as LA completely oversized bar interest in a landmark or museum almost too big/urbanized to comprehend, would like to see Seattle and Boston but those are hard to combine. San Francisco is a must purely due to Bullitt impressions on me as a kid - just to rent a Mustang for the day for the fun of it. The rest would be the 'normal' cities and town downs some scenic routes, a couple of national parks and basically to experience 100s miles of mountains or fields. I suppose it gets old after a while as retold by some acquaintances that did the Route 66 across - but coming from Europe where vast expanses of 'nothing' are rare those straight shot roads trough Arizona or Texas, or Rockies wilderness would be a sight for sure.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #19 I’ll say this much…as it’s true both ways. When I got back from my European trip in 2019, I had gripes about my experience while switching flights in Paris. My boss, who has had frequent trips to France, put it this way…. Paris is great for some of the big attractions (e.g., the Louvre), but you have to get away from the city to see the real France…and the people in the country are a lot less stuck up than most Parisians you’ll encounter. The same is probably true everywhere. Visit a major US city and you get a high concentration of a particular group of personalties. Rural areas can have a similar issue, but when you get away from the cities, you get a more honest balance of what people are like. Heck, years ago, a national morning TV show broadcasted from the city closest to where I live. Not “rural” by any standard and part of a quad of cities covering two counties. The host arrogantly quipped on air about the audience/crowd that came out to see the show in person, “Look! The even took a bath for the occasion.” Needless to say, the city officials were not happy to have their community mocked by a bunch of big city jerks.
