As I promised in my previous post, I will be sharing pictures from our national park trips over the next few days. This is the national park we covered earlier this year, less crowded and with winter scenery. It was just amazing. This was our third trip to this popular national park.
Can you guess which national park it is? If you know which park it is, can you also guess where these pictures were taken?
Which fictional world would be the most fun to vacation in?
A big no to the Harry-potter world. Although I enjoyed the novels, I never found the work so crazy that I became a loyal fan. The novels are much appreciated though.
I never had any fantasy of being in any fictional world; the real world is beautiful and exciting enough. For the sake of this question, I would like to live in the “Wonderland” from the book “Alicnd in Wonderland,” where each step brings you a surprise and an adventure.
It would be really fun to be part of that world. Meeting the white rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Queen of Hearts, and other characters will be exciting. To make it one level up, I would like the idea of being part of Alice in Borderland too, the famous series I binge-watched on Netflix. It’s violent but has a deep philosophy.
What’s your favorite dream world? Have you read Alice in Wonderland? What about the Alice in Borderland series?
National Park Week started 2 days ago. I am already late, but that doesn’t stop me from talking about the beautiful national parks we’ve covered so far and the next one on our list.
This year alone, we have covered 4 national parks: 1 was a revisit to RMNP and 3 in Wyoming. You know, I almost visited a national park on one of my recent trips – Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
So far we have been to these national parks
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
Black Canyon of the Gunnison Park, Colorado
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming
Badlands National Park, South Dakota
Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota
Glacier National Park, Montana
Canyonlands National Park, Utah
Zion National Park, Utah
Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
Arches National Park, Utah
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
Joshua Tree National Park, California
Yosemite National Park, California
Next on the list is Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, which we will be covering this coming September. Stay tuned for updates on that trip.
We love traveling, and our trips mostly focus on national parks and hiking. We feel one with nature in such beautiful parks. Each of the parks is unique in its own way; you can’t actually rank them. Each has its own charisma and charm. We are here to experience that.
Over the next few days, I will be sharing pictures from different national parks. It will be fun.
If you could go back and witness any historical event, which one would you pick?
That’s a really good question. When I gave it some thought, the only answer I could come up with was the “Independence of India from the British”.
I always loved reading about our history, especially the freedom fighters and the struggles we faced under British rule, and how we all came together to overthrow the rulers and get our Independence. No caste, no religion, just one goal: to achieve independence. All of us came together irrespective of our internal differences; I want to witness that. I want to witness that day of August 15th, 1947.
Just imagining the day of our Independence gives me immense pleasure. What would the country’s environment have been like? How happy everyone would have been to see this day after 89 years of crown rule. Witnessing that day would definitely be a treat.
If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?
Let me make it very clear: I am not a fan of tattoos. My wife has three tattoos, but I never wanted them for myself and never plan to.
But for the sake of this question, if I want a tattoo right now, without a doubt, it would be something related to Lord Shiva, the god I worship.
I believe whoever you love or are devoted to lives in your heart, and you don’t need to carve their name on your body. That’s why I didn’t get any tattoos for my spouse or kid. But given the chance, it will be only Lord Shiva either in his sanyasi (Hermit) form, or as a Linga. I would consider the symbols too, like the damroo or the trident.
