The national parks. I visited Yosemite Valley two years ago and it was amazing. We don't have acces to nature in this scale in central europe.

I'm an American but I remember talking to a gentleman from Belgium years ago while visiting Muir Woods. He said something along the lines of, "You all have some of the best national parks in the world. You should be very proud of them."

That conversation gave me a new appreciation for our national parks. We are fortunate to have some pretty amazing scenery in the US.

I criticize our country for a lot, but the National Parks we did right by. I'm so glad we did that.
