The world still loves America

An excerpt from an email I received from a close friend of mine.

We were a bit worried about visiting other countries because the media paints us as being hated by every other nation. Not so! We met people from Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Russia, Japan, Korea, and of course, Wales, England, Ireland and Scotland. When they found out where we were from, they were thrilled. They all told us that the Americans were loved in their countries, and the only people we encountered that were unkind, were the French, and we were told that they hate everyone! So don't believe everything you hear in the news!

Anyway, we are home, rested, recovered from jet lag, and happy to have made new friends all over this beautiful world of ours, and in spite of how we are sometimes made to feel, I'm very proud to be an American!

love, Sue
