Dream a Little Dream

Brazil is huge. 87% the size of the United States. If you had a little less than six months to experience the United States, where would you go? What would you do?  Would you try to see all the famous landmarks- Yellowstone, the Black Hills?  The historical spots- the Liberty Bell, state capitals, Alcatraz? The beautiful, famous architecture or the best beaches?  New York alone has 260 registered landmarks. Would you just spend the six months in the US in one state, really getting to know New York, and through that gain a better understanding of the country as a whole? Or would you try to hit all 50 states and only get a piece of each? That's what I've been trying to figure out. I'll be in Brazil for almost six months, exactly what do I want to see? How much can I experience? I think a lot of that will be determined when I get there, going on day trips with my classmates, taking advantage of cheap flights or jetting off to a special concert or festival. Spea
