A short reply to Don

[Mattias Hallin]

DON:

    I went there already! To Californy, is what I mean: in 1991, we started out
with a week in San Franscisco, then drove down route 1 to L.A., across to Las
Vegas, down to Grand Canyon for a short peek, and then back to S.F. through the
central valley of California (it's name slips my mind right now); from where we
flew to Denver, and spent a week going up into the rockies, and around the
plains in the Denver area; thence to New Orleans for twelve days -- a wonderful
time we had there, too, because local musicians really took us to their hearts!
-- and on to a week or so in central Florida, where we did Disneyworld, and
then went for a few days in the sun and water on the Florida east-coast. We
rounded off our trip by going to Manhattan for a few days, and then drove up to
see a (Swedish) friend in Hamilton, Ontario; and finally drove by way of Boston
to stay our final five days with (American) friends on Long Island. The closest
I ever got to Louisville then was Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

So, you see, the parts of U.S. I've seen the least is the midwest, and from
there on to the southeast and east -- the Alleghennies f'rinstance... and the
Blue Grass country, and... Also, I'm very interested in U.S.American history,
and a lot of that is for obvious reasons concentrated to the eastern parts...
Besides one never knows what'll prove the most interesting until one tried it,
does one? So -- as I've said, I know nothing (even though I'm not from
Barcelona) very firm as yet, but don't be too surprised if try to pass by
Louisville. It does after all hold at least ONE major attraction -- I've a
friend there I'd like to see...

All my best, as always

Mattias
