its been a while since my last blog but a few will come along in a row now!!
For a while now i have been reading the "rough guide to the USA" and have been thinking of the top things i would love to do over there.
firstly i must say that the first thing i would do is a two week break in PA. the ideas i am putting here are only if i won the lottery, and could pack in working and travel the world. i will blog about PA later (by far and away my top place in the USA!!!!!)
City wise i would say Chicago would be top of my list (outside of pa of course Pittsburgh is number one!!! ) there seems to be alot to do there and some of the bars are meant to be outstanding, and i suppose the gangster storys for the 30,s appeal to me as well.it certainly influances my suits and stuff when i dress up looking smart. and by all accounts the pizzas are to die for!!!
The south sounds fun aswell, if only to try the soul food that i hear so much about.in the book. the music seen and the partying would really appeal to me i think.although it would be added with a somber note due to hurricane Katrina back in 2005. it would be great to see new Orleans rise again in much the same way London and may other British city's did after the war in 1945. i hope the government speeds up the rebuilding process. would the process be as slow if it had happened in say Boston or new york? would the people have to fend for themselves for as long as they did? the pictures from the tv had a big impact on me and so many questions about the response are still to be answered (by those at the top not the brave hero's at the front line)
Lincoln nebraska would be good to vist aswell, it only for a picture in my city shirt at the lincoln road sign and to leave a lincoln city fc pennant in a random back street bar somewhere.
i will post some more places later but like i say it all comes way behind PA!!, and the nations biggest tourist attraction...........
BIG PHILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
