Having just experienced the eastern portion of the United States, from the nation’s capitol in Washington, D.C., to the rocky coast of Maine, to the tropical Florida marshland, I now head west.  I will visit with Dad on Father’s Day before traveling onward to Arches, Mesa Verde, the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone.

From my casual observations, history plays a big role in the lives of East Coasters.  There is the architecture.

There are the experiences of the people who fought to be free.

And, there are the places, since fallen into disrepair, that shaped the everyday lives of artists and industrialists.

Coming from the West Coast, the juxtaposition of the two sides of the continent strike me in their originality.  There really is a lot to see in America.
