Despite being in a bit of a rough spot at the moment, America is still the greatest place on earth.
This entire account is great and really sums up this massive country pretty nicely.
Waffle House at 1 AM, thunderstorms, tubing, random mountain towns, absurd fast food menus, driving for hours
I think a lot of people visit expecting a consistent thing called "America" but instead get a giant collection of weird experiences connected by highways.
We don't do it enough ourselves.
