UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: FROM EAST TO WEST.
Hello everyone! I am back in Milan for 3 months now but I still miss the US, and after such an intense year, I think it's normal. I had the chance of traveling across the country and that's one of the things I loved to do. From East to West I visited a lot of cool places and I wanted to share them with you.
1. NEW YORK CITY
2. WASHINGTON DC
3. PHILADELPHIA
4. ST. LOUIS
5. DENVER
6. GRAND CANYON
7. LAS VEGAS
8. LOS ANGELES
9. SAN FRANCISCO
1. NEW YORK
I chose a picture of Central Park because it is one of the things you surely want to do more than once. I mean if I could live in NY I would walk around the park every sunday. I loved everything there, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Empire State Building etc.
2. WASHINGTON DC
I liked DC. It is smaller than all the big cities I've visited so far. I was really excited to see the White House but then I saw it and it was smaller than I thought. Fun fact: I've never seen a politician in Italy but when I was in DC Italy's Prime Minister was there, my friend has a pic with him.
3. PHILADELPHIA
Philly is really interesting. It is famous for art. There are a lot of murals and iconic places. I've been to the Reading Terminal Market and I've had a philly cheese steak. It was so good! Things I've seen: Indipendence Hall, The Museum of Art and The Liberty Bell.
4. ST. LOUIS
In May I flew into St. Louis for a college graduation. It has been really cool! The weather was weird tho. It was rainy one day and sunny and hot the next one. I ate ice cream at Ted Drewes, a place on Route 66; I visited Forest Park; I visited the offices of Edward Jones Investments and I rode the tramway to the top of the Gateway Arch.
5. DENVER
Well, what can I say. I lived one hour away from Denver so I love it. I have been in Denver 3 or 4 times. I slept there some nights during Christmas Holidays and then in February. I've been to a Rockies Game; Hard Rock Café; Voodoo Doughnuts, which was founded in Portland; Cheesecake Factory; Smashburger, which was founded in Denver; and Casabonita, a huge and famous mexican place in Colorado (where I got a taco salad because people told me food was horrible, but it has improved; the location is awesome, check it out here). Denver is famous for its arts. I saw a few plays there, like A Christmas Carol, The Grinch, Wicked.
6. GRAND CANYON
One word: BREATHTAKING.
7. LAS VEGAS
Being in LV was like being in Europe. On one side you are in Italy and on the other one you are in France. Casinos are everywhere. It is the city of lights, basically neons are always bright on. If you are 21 you can really have fun. While there I rode a limousine, walked through the strips, ate at a casino and saw KA at MGM Grand. I eventually went on the top of the Atmosphere Tower.
8. LOS ANGELES
I hadn't have the chance to really visit Los Angeles Downtown, except for Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Huntington Beach. I also went to Disneyland, Universal Studios and Madame Tussaud's. The best parts have been the theme parks.
9. SAN FRANCISCO
I left my hear in San Francisco. I love that city. It is beautiful and colorful. A must to do while there is riding the cable car. You need to see the sealions at Pier 39 as well. North Beach is pretty cool, there are a lot of Italians there. I crossed the Golden Gate and I also went to Alcatraz. Being there was really touching.
I hope your next trip will be across the USA. If you have any question, write it in the comments below and I will be glad to answer it.
