our most spectacular national treasure

From my journal:

“July 9, 2017. There is so much I appreciate and respect about this country (China) and its culture. A natural part of travel is reflection regarding my own country, my perceptions and what I value. My mind goes back to all the US national parks and country roads we’ve gone down as a family – beautiful and awe-inspiring.  Yet, this time in China rises up overwhelming gratitude in me for the rich racial diversity of America – it is truly spectacular and by far our country’s most breathtaking national treasure.”
