Honestly, I did edit. I left out many, many photos. But it was too beautiful and there was so much to look at. I had to keep clicking. One wow after another as Jane said.
One thing I learned on this trip is that American history is so much about size and space and emptiness. The photos don't really convey that. You have to breathe in the space to experience the immensity.
