A lot of nice things to love in America indeed, and a lot of nice suggestions for visiting
I ticked the Grand Canyon and Utah for geological/palentological reasons (to divert from the sheer breathtaking scenery i
really want to see
), also because of Edward Abbey's
"Desert solitaire" and William H. Calvin's
"The river that flows uphill" (both a fascinating read).
California.. sigh. Well the list is long. Seems all I need are a hundred more years and money
@Buddahaid: Not the city of
Eureka where the Eureka and Palisades narrow gauge 4-4-0s still run?!
re
Sue there is still a lot of dipute about all aspects of life, speed, behaviour etc.. It may be true that she and all those relatives of her (or him, for equal treatment ahem) were not as fast as science first thought, on the other hand nothing is sure here. There were species with feathers, also it was balancing with his large tail which would allow a speed from 33 to 45 miles per hour - also the oxygen level is presumed to have been higher than today which could have given her even more speed.
