Rwanda. It was such a beautiful country and not at all what I expected. The scenery was breathtaking - I only had a couple of days there but cant wait to go back. I particularly want to go back to the Parc National des Volcans for some Gorilla trekking!
Its just amazing to think about what that country has gone through in the recent past, and what it has become now.
Definately worth a visit!

This is not supposed to be a cliche.
The first time I visited The Grand Canyon I was in total awe. I walked up an embankment and got my first glance at it and I literally started to shed tears. I had no idea where those tears came from, but they came. Nature of that magnitude is the most awe-inspiring thing I can ever witness. Before I saw it in person, I had seen millions of pictures of it. Pictures are nothing compared to the raw experience.
I actually walked beyond the railing and found an old trail. I followed it and ended up at the very edge of this Canyon. I looked down with total abandon and exhilaration. That's when my boyfriend took my picture and then he, the tour guide, and all the tourists begged me to come back.
I'm glad I didn't get in trouble. They say that wind gusts can capture a person like me on a lone, wild expedition. I can still, to this day, feel the butterflies in my stomach.

Madurodam in Holland.
Visiting friends in Brummsum who were showing me all the sights that I could manage in a two week visit, when they told me where they were taking me I asked them, "Isn't that just one of those touristy places built to give Americans another place to visit?"
They laughed and told me to withhold my judgment until I saw the exhibits.
It was the most amazing place I've ever visited, including in comparison Disney Land and Busch Gardens in Florida.
The people building those displays meticulously crafted the exhibits to the exact detail of the actual site. It was as if I was flying over those places in an airplane and looking down on them from way up in the sky.
Of the many sights I saw in Holland and Belgium, that was the premier location.

I've been to a bunch of countries all across the baltics but
still have to say that I really like London out of all the places in Europe that I have been to yet.
I love to history, old streets, high class society and the history. Quant pubs, architecture and the lively city vibe.
Stockholm was also another really neat place

Silver Falls in Oregon. Where there are 10 + grand waterfalls within a 2 hour walk. Beautiful!

Hands down, it was the Grand Canyon.
It is so overwhelming in it's immensity, it is almost as if you are looking into the mind of the very Being that created it. I still remember how difficult it was to conceive of it. The best photo books cannot prepare anyone for the experience.
(I see Queensassy's beat me to it, but we know what each other is talking about.)
