Abbeville, Alabama to Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico

Boyhood Home of Elvis Presley

There are a number of cities in the United States that are famous around the world. When you mention places like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco no one says "Where is that?". But to truly get to know the USA get out and see the small towns, the museums, and the quirky things we call "Americana".

I have a few pages on larger towns but I love writing pages on small towns and out of the way locations that have no other coverage, and on Americana. The "Off the Beaten Path" places.

Pros and Cons

Pros:A Wide Variety of Everything
Cons:Too Much to See in One Lifetime
In a nutshell:Diversity and Freedom

I was oblivious of the dangerous scorpions, spider or snakes when I was travelling in the southwest USA - blissful ignorance? SL :)
