California, America’s “Golden State” is about 300 km wide and 1400 km long, stretching along the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. It borders on Mexico to the south and Oregon to the north. Its western beaches, see pictures below, are in direct contrast to its deserts which border on the states of Arizona and Nevada to the east. #travel #california #america #beach  

“The Big Apple”, is the largest city in the United States and is visited by millions of travellers every year. New York is so popular because it offers architecture, very varied culture (migrants from many countries are estimated to speak 800 different languages), history and special events that cannot be found anyplace else. New York City is situated at the mouth of the Hudson River, providing one of the world’s largest natural harbors.“New York” only became its name twenty years later when the British gained control and re-named it after the Duke of York, King Charles II’s brother.
