America
Wide-eyed, looking at all the billboards and signs. So many stores and restaurants from which to choose.
Driving slower than most everybody else on the roadways. Wishing for my bike.
HUGE plates of food set before patrons of restaurants. How to finish it all?
Being able to READ everything around me and UNDERSTAND all the people around me.
Stopping, briefly, before speaking to someone, wondering how to say what I'm going to say. Relief when I realized where I was and that she would speak English.
