I haven’t been all that many places but thinking about it I have seen some cool things.
At the Art Institute of Chicago I saw the originals of Winslow Homer’s American Gothic and Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks. In London at the British Library I saw the Codex Sinaiticus, the oldest manuscript of the complete Christian bible. At the British Museum I saw the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marbles (which should have been returned to Greece decades ago).
On my first trip to San Francisco I visited many Vertigo locations. I have been several times to Las Vegas, New Mexico. If you take Exit 345 from I-25, turn toward town, over the bridge, and down to the first street, you are on the site used as the U.S.-Mexico border in No Country For Old Men. Proceed on to the town square and you will find where Captain America and Billy crashed the parade and were arrested in Easy Rider. Later, when released, they stand on the square with George Hanson.
I, too, have visited Delaney Square in Dallas where JFK was shot and Ford’s Theater in D.C. where Lincoln was shot. Visited several Civil War battlefields.
