The dinosaur footprints embedded in the hill outside Denver, Colorado. So incredibly clear and so incredibly old. Truly awesome. Loved seeing them. AND they have crocodile tracks, which are maybe even better, just astonishing.

Firstly, Bergen Belsen
Secondly, The Teutoburger Forest
Thirdly, Living in the small town of Buckeburg in Germany on the night that the Berlin Wall fell and being on the scene over the following days and weeks as the East Germans came across looking for family members.... A very exciting time!

I travelled overseas a great deal when my husband retired.I will just list the places we visited. Of course my fave was ITALY(land of both of my parents) we started at the most northern part Near the ALPS..and down to many cities..of course, PISA, Venice,Siena(one of my fave),Florence, northern lake area, FLORENCE(incomparable)its location,its art,fashion,NO FOOD WAS BAD in the entire places we visited...homemade pastas--outstanding,bread,real pizza,fresh fruits and vegetables,wonderful wines,and desserts.the people are friendly and trustworthy. The art is breath taking,architecture the same, went to ASSISI,Rome,San Carlo a small country within Italy and in a mountain area.
ROME was so dramatic,,so much to see and the VATICAN,immense and glorious(esp the museum).another trip to Spain,Portugual and MOROCCO(that was enchanting)other trips to Poland(and the Nazi death camps)horrifying, Austria and Germany were also on a trip. Then in our hemisphere...we went to Brazil(Rio) saw the Santeria religion performed in part in an evening at the ocean side.
Then to Argentina(Bs.Aires and cordoba) very much like European cities in Spain, slight difference in the Spanish but not the spanish spoken by Mexicans which has lots of Indian influence mixed into the Spanish. Argentina is filled with people who have immigrated from Europe(mostly Italy, Spain, Portugal and germany besides the native born).I kept diaries on every trip as had some interesting things happen which i thought i could develop into short stories..but that was when i was younger and had lots more energy..my notebooks will be for early winter nights to reread and smile and give thanks to my late husband for urging me to go to these fantastic places..flojjj

The Redwood Forests in northern California. I visited there in 1980 and was so fascinated that I returned in 1983. I doubt if there is anything on this earth to compare. I also visited Niagara Falls (Canadian side) and must admit that they are awesome, but not as awesome as the size of those trees.

I haven't traveled a whole bunch, but I would have to say the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. Majestic and beautiful doesn't begin to describe it for me. I loved the whole country, but the Cliffs is what stood out.

I'm always filled with a sense of awe when I look out over the ocean.

Good choice, pyonir, it's a wonderful sight.
I'd pick the sea too, though. Any sea. I think I'd go mad if I couldn't see it regularly. It can change even while you're looking at it.

The first time I saw Venice - I walked into the piazza late at night and was enchanted by it, the hustle bustle, the music, the buildings. It was smaller than I thought it would be but I sat on my suitcase and drank it in for a few minutes before moving any further. People came and went between coloumns, wheeling suitcases, strolling, listening to music, resting like me, staring agog, chatting. Some knew where to go, some were lost and happily so. Stars above, green sea all around, salt in the aire. And the violins, the architecture, the lights, the warmth of August. This must be what the gates of heaven are like. I picked up my case and wandered further, into the real piazza, into St Mark's Square - want an idiot, I hadn't even been in the piazza at all - and everything was the same but bigger, better, sweeter. I walked into heaven.
