John Canzano, King of Geography

I recently went to Santa Fe and New Mexico. I also visited Baltimore and Maryland, New York City and New York, and Boston and Massachusetts.

 

Lets meet in LA....or perhaps California.

 

Um, he has the continent first, and specific sites within that continent follow. You have yours flipped. In other words, his specifies while yours is clutter.

 

Or, let's meet in California ... in LA.

 

maxiep is referring to the "to Nairobi and Kenya" part. Nairobi is a city in Kenya, the capital, in fact.

 

I went to the US this summer, to Bozeman and Montana.

EDIT - fixed it.

 

Oooooooooooo! I was thinking about the continent and not the specific qualifiers that followed.

Silly Canzano! MaxieP for life!

 

My two favorite NBA teams are the Blazers and Portland.

 

I travel a lot - for both work and pleasure - and the best trip of my life has probably been to Kenya. It was fantastic, educational, inspirational and just plain fun.

To be honest, however, Nairobi and Kenya makes sense to me - Nairobi to Kenya is a little bit like New York to the US - as far as I am concerned. Yes, it is in Kenya - but it is so different than just about any other place in that country - that I can understand the reference.

Best part of Kenya, for me at least, was the Masai Marra, Mombasa and Lamu. Nairobi is very different and "cosmopolitan" - as much as a big city where no-one ever learned about deodorant can be cosmopolitan, that is.

 

My sister-in-law did her Peace Corps service in Kenya. She absolutely loved it.

 

I would only go to Kenya to become an Ivory Trader.

 

My mom wants to do that and is strongly considering it, despite being in her 50s.

 

Until she was evacuated by the Marines due to political instability in Kenya, she had the time of her life. In fact, she wants to return and set up a clinic (she's a physician).

 

If it makes your mom feel better, I have a friend who just left for Kyrgystan for the Peace Corps and he's 62.

 

You have not lived life to it's fullest until you visit the Donkey Sanctuary in Lamu...

 

That's quite cool. I'm impressed by people who remain that vigorous as they get older. My mom has remarkable energy and does a lot of volunteer work here in the US. I hope I'm that motivated when I'm past 50.

 

So I have learned two things from reading this thread:
1 Canzano can edit his articles while they're up
2 HE READS THIS SHIT!
