What Makes America Special

I've been to a lot of countries. Let me tell you why America is cool.

Because it has states like California, Arizona, different places all in one country. Like deserts and forests, and lots of other places. And also it has nice cities, like New York which I've never been to, and Hollywood, which I've been to in California. And the only interesting place there is the Italian Ice store with the lemon ice.

In America I visited icy states like Wisconsin and Minnesota. I like them because they have lots of lakes that you can go boating on, and in the winter you have to walk out on them because it's icy. In the winter, the ice is about two feet deep, and if you want to go fishing in the winter, you have to get a big chainsaw so that you can cut a whole in the ice, get a stick, some string, and a worm, and a hook too. And then you just throw all those in there and catch a fish. Eventually.

America also has a capital which is very close to where live. Washington DC has fancy cars, like Maseratis, Rolls Royces, and Mercedes E and S class. It also has lots of Porsches and a couple Astin Martins. Washington DC is also where they make laws and where the government is. There's also a state government in Richmond. The capital is where they make laws, like freedom of speeches, freedom of religion, freedom of language, and jobs too.

And so there are lots of people here, including Chinese, African, Mexicans, English, Japanese, Scottish, Indians, and Eskimos. There's lots of different kind of music here, and some of it was invented in America like bluegrass, jazz, hip-hop and rock. And we also have some different kinds of food that were invented in America, like a cheeseburger, fried chicken, meatballs (without any sauce please!), and brownies. And pancakes too.

I've been to a lot of countries. I like America the best because I live there.

Excellent Luke!!! You are very lucky that your parents have chosen to do international travel with you boys. Your Dad had lots of exposure since he lived in Germany for 7 years & did lots of travel too.

By traveling & getting to know other countries & people, makes you realize how many freedoms we have here in America.
