I don’t like big cities and tourist traps either and rather enjoy of the beaten path places.
You learn more about a country that way.:)
So true. And meet such nice and interesting people. There are some really nice people in big cities, but I think you get a false sense of reality in the big cities, like everything comes from a semi lol.
My daughter went on the RAGBRAI, that long bike ride across Iowa. The people along the way sounded like the greatest people on earth, hospitable, helpful, not jaded like so many become now.
I think I talked too much tonight, been pretty quiet for a long time.
