An amazing country with amazing people. I attended university there. I realized just how young America is when I would get off the train to go to school and I would walk out of the train station in York and be looking at a 1500 year old wall. YES! A wall that stood to protect this incredible city that many years ago. The history there is absolutely incredible. And it was living those 2 years in that country that made me appreciate being American even more.
