favorite spots for a picnic

I'm wanting a picnic in a scenic spot. Sometimes a picnic is great because of the company you're keeping. Sometimes your picnic is spectacular because of the scenery. Sometimes the picnic is unforgetable because you're with someone special in a location that has a sense of place.

A picnic at the foot of the Eifel Tower gives you a certain sense of place. In a different way, a picnic in the Monument Circle in Indianapolis also has a sense of place. There is a feel of greatness, of history, of space. Enormous public places have a different feel than ordinary park benches. It's fascinating that you can have a picnic in a beautiful garden in the local park and it's very nice. Eat the same food at the foot of the arch in St. Louis and there is a totally different feel. Place makes a difference.
