Pictures, videos, and descriptions are wonderful for seeing and learning, but there really are no adequate substitutes for physically exploring and experiencing sites and artifacts...in person. Visiting and visually beholding great fields of battle, grand vistas, and museum artifacts where the places and pieces that significantly altered human experience creates incredible awe and wonder. The following is a partial list of some of the places I have been able to experience in person. A few are cities, regions or people. While media cannot replicate being there, it is the next best thing.
