My favorite city to visit is DC. It's very walkable, and a lot of the attractions have free admission. Plus the Metro is super user-friendly!
Thanks for the chance!

Oh, it's a toss up.... domestically, it is DC. I have a ton of friends there and I was a political science major after all. Internationally, I'm going to say Rome. I love the energy, the life, the food...

Got to say, Paris remains my favorite city to visit. It's just the perfect combination of architecture, history, food and art (with good public transit) to make my heart go pitter-pat.
Can't wait to go back one of these days!

My favorite city to visit is Eau Claire, Wisconsin where I was born!

My favorite city to visit is Paris. I love the architecture, food, art (Musee D'Orsay!) parks and yes, even the people. Or especially the people (I have had only one person be rude to me. Everyone else I encountered was very patient w/my not knowing French and very nice). And shopping! So much visual interest and just a fun city to explore.

My fave city to visit is San Francisco. There is NOTHING I dislike about that city and plenty of things I DO like.
I'd love to be carrying that last bag the next time I go. *S*

These are sweet patterns!
I've not had the opportunity to travel much out of North America, but of cities on my must-do-before-I-die list the top choices are Kyoto and London.

Gasp! After I saw title #2 I *knew* what your theme was! I spent a college semester in London and I still miss it. Even if it wasn't your theme, it would still be the city I picked to visit.
I promise to Mind the Gap if I am the winner of the drawing :o)

I love Austin Texas - funky and cool...and that is where my mom and dad are.
Love the new patterns - so creative!

My current favorite city to visit is Grand Mound, Washington. Ya, I know. Not super exotic or anything. The best part of it though is the Great Wolf Lodge. The indoor water park, kid cabin suites, story time.... oh man my kids love it. I've visited 30+ states and 14 countries and my kids have convinced me that Grand Mound is the best place on earth :)

La Jolla, CA - specifically La Jolla Cove. This little part of La Jolla has a place called The Cheese Shop and they make the most delicious sandwiches ever. Then you can walk a couple of block to the beach and sit and enjoy your meal while you watch the Dolphins swim by in the Pacific Ocean. The main part of La Jolla has some wonderful shoping and art galleries. Truely a must visit if you are in So. Cal.
