travel the world and the seven seas

dear kat,

you seem like a seasoned traveller. tell me, what's the best place ever?

yours truly,
an ardent reader*

p.s. you're pretty.

dear ardent,
i live in a beautiful state. but in the past few years i've been to some amazing places. here, we'd better look at this logically.
i mean, massachusetts has the T. it has charming little restaurants on the north end like giacomo's. it has people standing in the street watching red sox games. it has my sister.
but utah has streets that follow the grid system. there are mountains and canyons and arches. there's no humidity. the water doesn't taste like cigarette butts.
but in massachusetts most of the men over 25 are still single.
but in utah most of the men don't come up to you on the street and ask you to sleep with them. ("i have lots of money. i could buy you anything you wanted.")
and then there's arizona. it has sun all year round. and no daylight savings. and the grand canyon.
mexico has gorgeous scenery. and the mexican military. and yummy food.
washington and oregon have gorgeous beaches, and waterfalls, and greenery.
idaho has, you know, potatoes. and sage brush.
wyoming has cowboys, and steak, and cabins.
pennsylvania has philly cheese steak sandwiches, independence hall, and west philadelphia (born and raised).
new york has broadway, and the soup nazi, and times square.
california has celebrities. and disneyland. and redwoods. and the ocean.
but rhode island has the ocean too. and also old mansions that you can walk through.

sorry, i can't pick a favorite. but i can tell you this...
montana's got nothing.
never go there.

love,
kat

*i might be my own ardent reader.
it happens.
