I was raised rather poor, but I have married a man who has done well and taken good care of his family.
Most Amazing Things I Have Seen From an Airplane
1) The breathtaking high mountains on the east coast of Greenland, rising straight up from the iceberg-laden sea
2) The Golden Horn of Istanbul, and the Hagia Sophia, at dawn
3) The skyline of New York City, gleaming silver against a pink sunset
4) The Escalante wilderness in Utah, a maze of narrow green and red canyons winding away through the desert
5) Mount Fuji in Japan from above the clouds
6) All of southern England at dawn, from the Scilly Isles to the mouth of the Severn to the Isle of Wight from 41,000 feet
7) The beautiful "northern Mediterranean" that is the pale sea and white sand of the Scottish Hebrides and Northern Ireland
8) The Yukon River at dawn in winter, with a single light shining in a vast snowy landscape
9) Southern Louisiana, an endless forest below with the sun glinting in the unseen water that surrounds the trees
10) All the New England coast from Maine past Boston Harbor to Rhode Island and Connecticut, glowing brilliant red in the fall against the blue sea
11) The African continent at night, so dark against the bright stars of the southern sky that not a light can be seen
