The Spirit that Sparks Your Heart

So, The other night I was watching TV and nothing good was on. It’s usually like that on certain nights. Anyway, I found a show called 21 Hottest Caribbean Escapes which I knew had been on many times on The Travel Channel but, I’ve never watched it. After a while, I was thinking, “I want to get a stamp in My Passport from somewhere.” I saw all the places on it, and thought, “I want to go there, there, and there” but, then I thought, “There are great places here in the US that are very pretty too.” I asked My Mom about it and she says, “it’s more about the thrill of being in a Foreign Country instead of your own.” And, you know she’s right. But, watching shows like that on Travel Channel, which by the way is one of My Favorite Channels, puts you in what I’ll call an “I really want to go there daze” otherwise known as “The Travelers Daze” and that’s kind of the point of Travel Channel which I like and don’t like. But, anyway, When seeing all the other places in The World and thinking about Places in America, it takes a reminder for even someone like me to think, “What’s so great about America?”. Well, actually, there’s a lot to love about the USA that’s equivalent to things found elsewhere. And, yes, even places in America that won’t have a lot of commercialism. For example, instead going to The Bahamas or Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, you could go to Key West, Florida; Puerto Rico (which is Owned by The US) and My Favorite Place I want to go, The USVI(or United States Virgin Islands for short). Why? they have somewhat the same culture of The Caribbean, They speak English, and of course the Turquoise Water. And, in case if your wondering they do have turquoise water in Key West. Anyway, if your a History Buff as they call them, instead of going to Roma(Rome) or Berlin, Germany, You can go to one of the many Civil Water Sites dotted all over The South and there are even ones in places like major cities. For Example, in Atlanta there’s the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield just west of Marietta. Next, if you love Nature, instead going to Norway’s Fjords(which by the way is on My List), You can go to the Adirondack Mountains/Park in New York State; Yosemite National Park in California; and, Baxter State Park in Northern Maine. Now, if you ask me, My Favorite location would be the Adirondack Mountains or Baxter State Park, even though I haven’t been yet, based on what I’ve read their both are really awesome. If you love Culture, instead of going to Thailand, China, or Brazil. You can go to The USVI(US Virgin Islands), Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii, and New York City. For example, in New York City there’s many cultures in many parts of Manhattan especially in Lower Manhattan or uptown in Harlem. If you like to see how a country works, instead of going to Roma(Rome), Beijing, London, or Oslo. You can go to Our Nation’s Capitol, Washington D.C. In Washington D.C, you can see where The President lives at The White House; Where Congress makes laws at The US Capitol; see all the Monuments and finally, see all the Museums of The Smithsonian.
All in all here, There are many alternatives here in The United States you or I can go to and best of all it’s not that expensive to go.
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. The sites of America are closer than you think. You just have to Book a Flight or Hop in The Car and Go!
