The power and fury of those falls is amazing. On the American side you can actually walk down, reach over the scaffolding and put your hand in the falls.

I've been to Europe and South America numerous times but Niagara Falls is the trip that really stands out in my memory.

Munich Germany is a very close second. MMM, beer.

I must admit, I did not like Paris. I found it simultaneously scummy and pretentious with ubiquitous, bothersome streethawkers. Oh well, to each his own, that's what makes the world go round.
