Read about: New York City- with its hustle, bustle, noise and bright lights! California- to see some of the world's biggest bridges. Fort Jefferson- a fortress in the sea! Machu Picchu- the escape of the Maidens of the Sun. Carcassonne- the City of Romance! Mount St. Michel- the abbey that is an island. ...and so much more!
