The Ugly American States

When it comes to beauty, the States are a bit like people. Some are with amazing topography or a nice robustness burned a picture blessed in your brain and your heart lays a flutter every time someone speaks your name. Other States - and people - can not get that spark, only getting a second look. It's just the nature of things: there is no escape for geography and genetics.

In a beauty contest between the states of California and Connecticut, California certainly always win. But that does not mean Connecticut, as one of the ugliest American States in a recent SF Examiner International Travel has admirable qualities.

As a firm believer in "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and for which the benefit of the doubt, I would fight for Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas, Nevada and Oklahoma, and one is a bit of beauty in each of them

Delaware
I'm curious, with Bob Ecker, author of the critical article, which is Delaware one of the ugliest state in the union, because often I look at the "first state" as nothing more than a few toll booths in the illustrated agree Congress. But if I Delaware destination, it is often a pleasure. A trip to a summer day Lewes, colonized by the Dutch in 1631 means an afternoon swim in the bay, antique shopping and a stop at one of the many farm stands Delaware East.

Nevada
Ecker Nevada lists "with a heavy heart", but in fact applies for admission to the ugliest due to its history as a nuclear test and its arguments unforgiving geography. In fact, the neon lights of Las Vegas has some improved a great aesthetic eye. But I can not imagine, can add assert the ugly list to a state that is part of the Lake Tahoe me.

Connecticut
All negative impressions come primarily from Connecticut to my friends in New York and Massachusetts, so enjoy both in love with himself, this strip of land that separates states. Although Connecticut urban centers are not much to see, I'm combining a lover of its colonial architecture and its maritime heritage well to Mystic Seaport. Ecker also hate Hartford, but the head of state has a soaring, neo-Gothic style of the Capitol, which is well above the level of the small state.

Oklahoma
The argument against Oklahoma Ecker shows the opposite: "It's a different level of infinity, the lone plane in Oklahoma breathtaking" I can imagine that a visitor to a mountainous country targeted. Oklahoma, for the first time and is impressed by the "infinite triviality." Oklahoma is also home to most of the American Indian tribes headquarters of the United States .. If modern reservations love hardly a thing of beauty, if you are ever the possibility of a strain on a holiday, colorful make-up and emotional visit the show South West.

Kansas
Of all the countries in this list of the top five, Kansas is the one I know least. But I was able to find some poems in the Sunflower State shows that beauty can be found everywhere in the lonely prairies of Kansas. Esther M. (Clark) Hill of "The Call of Kansas", the fragrant summer rain condition, windswept plains and dusty wild roses describes, almost makes me want to see if it it works for a minute New York.
