Kentucky (USA)
In the year 1997 I set foot on the United States of America to begin a new life with my first husband. My place of residence for the next 6 years was Lexington, Kentucky.

Lexington is a very tame city. Metropolitan enough, but not so big that it has problems with crime or basic services as what you see in the inner city of the big States. It is a good place to live in.Kentucky has varied landscapes. Green rolling hills, rivers, lakes, mountains and famous horse farms abound. Very picturesque.

Frankfort is the State Capital
This is the Capitol Building 		Pink and White Dogwood Trees are a favourite sight during Spring. The famous horse farms that dots the countryside of Kentucky



Ridge upon ridge of endless forest straddling the border between North Carolina and Tennessee, Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the largest protected areas in the Eastern United States. It encompasses 800 square miles of which 95% are forested.

I was married in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. The Smoky Mountains was the first and only National Park I got to see. My first husband was not much of a traveller. And I was just not adventurous enough to go see places on my own.


My cousin lives in Nebraska and I got to visit her family in the year 1999.

My impression of the State was it was very rural. Either you see fields of corn or hay or grazing cows or sheep. Endless stretch of flat land.



The Sears Tower continues to be the tallest building in North America. It is located in Chicago, Illinois. It has 110 stories and took a little less than two and a half years to be completed by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.

I got to visit this building when I was sent to Chicago for a conference with regards to Research Protocol Updates, this was the time when I was working as a Research Assistant in Lexington, KY.



Ohio is a State I get to visit whenever I attend the Year End Thanksgiving Service of the Church of Christ in Dayton, OH.
