New York / Museum

Of all the many museums in New York, this one is the most striking to me because of the unique experience you have while viewing the art. This Frank Lloyd Wright building integrates art with architecture in a way that makes it unique to this city. No matter where you are standing you get an incredible, extremely thought out detail of his work and the exhibited work.

San Juan / Architecture

Old San Juan is the oldest Spanish colonial city in Puerto Rico built in the 1500's and an UNESCO World Heritage Site. When you visit, take your time walking around the streets and pay close attention to the doors and the original cobblestones that make up this beautiful city.
