Awesome Book May 11, 2009
Lisa Pierre-Louis (Texas USA)
I first heard our Mayor's wife talking about this book on the radio while driving to work one morning and I thought, man this would make a great coffee table book. As soon as I got to work, I ordered it. I'm glad I did. There are some great places to visit, first I looked for the ones that I have visited and then I saw a few I haven't. What a beautiful world we live in. Being surrounded by some much bad news happening all around us, it feels really good to sit back and relax and see all the beauty that is still here on this earth. I haven't decided where I want to visit next but I'm going somewhere soon. Great Buy!!!
