I’ve only visited 8 places on this list: Fiorland National Park, Miami, Las Vegas, Washington (D.C.), San Francisco, NYC, Rome and the Vatican City. I just made vacation plans last week to visit Fallingwater. I like that there are so many American cities on this list; nothing like being able to see some of the best places in the world right in your own backyard.
A lot of those places are places that was on my list of places I wanted to visit. I doubt I will be able to visit most of them but visiting Hawaii is at that top of my list and I’m pretty sure I’m going to be able to go there sometime in my life.
The Louvre, an ENGLISH art museum ???????????
I was about to reply the same thing… I’m pretty sure it’s in paris since I’ve been there
I love this list! I have most of them written down on my own list, but I will make sure they are all there.

There are a few places that I was supposed to go but things came, and some things that I was very close to but didn’t end up making it. I have pictures outside of the Louvre but didn’t have time to go inside, and I was in Kyoto but didn’t end up making it to the The Karesansui Garden in Ryōan-ji Temple although it was on my list. 24 things on this list I have definitely been to though
