God's country up there for sure. To Americans England is England, people who've never been don't know how much difference there is between regions or counties. But once you get to explore the country a little, you can see how diverse it really is, in geography, in architecture, in dialects and accents. And it's all great. I wish I could say that next time will be soon, but I'm afraid it might be a few years. |

Arkansas is very green and pleasant, and Texas is about as diverse as you can get, climate wise. But most of it is flat as a pancake. I wonder if your relatives picked up the accents.
