Sight seeing in Two very different settings

It interesting to look at the different perspectives of traveling in the U.S versus traveling in Europe. The similarity as I would guess you could find whenever your are traveling is the importance of touring areas of great importance. If you were traveling to the U.S depending on what section ( since we don't have the convenience of the train system like Europe) you would be going to visit places like New York City, Washington D.C, Maybe Florida/Disney world, Niagara falls, Vegas, places in California, The grand canyon and so on and so fourth. In Europe as well your going to want to visit the basics, Rome, Paris, Amsterdam , Venice, London etc. because all of those places hold a great deal of historical importance as well as almost a packaged deal of each specific culture. They are cultural focal points to visit. However, the difference in between American Vacations and European vacations are that when looking at the packages for Europe there are greater instances of small village feel tours where you get a some what real idea of the old world culture. The ability to visit places that aren't as monumental like the cities named above is a lot more prevalent then in the United States. No one from Europe really is interested in visiting a small little southern town to get a feel for the American South or Visiting a small mountain top town in Colorado. However an American in lets say Italy would be very inclined to visit a small village outside of Venice to get a deeper cultural feel. This may have a lot to do with the American Culture and how diverse it is on the whole as the say we are a melting pot there fore it would take forever to get a feel for all sorts of American ideals. However in Europe there are still pieces of the old world that hold true. Over all places in Europe tend to be breath taking to American where as if you stumble across certain cities/ towns in America I have a feeling the vacationer would not be so happy with paying for what they were seeing.

Hopefully I will be able to experience Europe soon enough :-)
