_{I edited this to say: I was thinking how nice it was hearing from you on this one so I come back to tell you.}

Pura and I couldn't be more in the Appalachian mountains than we are at this moment. I'm typing this from foothills. We'll likely relocate to Florida in a few months until these got dang planes get back in the air so we can get the hump outta here but as I type this—surrounded by rolling hills and green forest covered Appalachians.

We befriended about 10 people whom we still keep in close contact with that we met during our travels. Them, too, we had to change each of their minds of Americans and I'm ok with that. I even let'em know, "we're changing opinions of Americans one person at a time."

It gets tiring. It's frustrating. I know what the majority of people think who have never been to America, I read the same noose and it's too bad. I don't mind changing minds.. one day with me and all I hear'em say is "oh, I can't wait to go to America!" I get it.. it's tough not to get sucked into what they feed but my own F'ing country people?!?

We speak the same language, know the same indoctrination, judicial systems are forced down our throat, public schooling, the IRS.. we have so much in common. I'm tired of being hated for nothing.
