It was way too hard to pick just one favorite place since I moved so much growing up, almost every three years. My favorite place tends to be wherever my family is living currently, but I decided to be more objective and pick only one from all the places we lived.
That would be San Antonio! Of course, everyone remembers the Alamo,

but my actual favorite place to go in San Antonio growing up was to the Pearl District near downtown. It's a cute area full of great food, shopping, and views of the riverwalk.

It's just one of the many places I loved in San Antonio when we lived there for seven years, a family record.
My second favorite place is Cape Town, South Africa where I got to stay with my aunt for two weeks after my senior year of high school. It was so incredibly beautiful and we got to road trip around going to different landmarks and parks together.

One of my absolute favorite memories is going to Addo National Elephant Park and getting to see the African elephants in their natural habitat up close!

Oh, that is so exciting, Meghan: an elephant! Beautiful! You will find lots of elephants in the stories that come from India and Africa in this class. And here's a coincidence: someone else has named Cape Town as a favorite place: My Favorite Place - Cape Town! -- that's Smith from the Indian Epics class. There will probably be some other mentions of San Antonio (because it is such a great city!)... but having two mentions of Cape Town already is a very cool coincidence!
