I have often been asked what my favorite place is: favorite country, favorite city, favorite restaurant, favorite park, favorite museum, favorite castle. It’s a tough question to answer, as each place has something superlative about it. Of course, this sort of thing changes over time as I explore another little part of the world. But, for now, here they are—my five favorites (and five runners-up) in an ever-expanding variety of categories.
