Nice to get some balance in a world of virulent anti-Americanism....usually coming from people whose only contact with the USA has been watching Die Hard 2.

I rode the length of Route 66 in 2006: Wisconsin to California, 3333 miles. I saw great sights, met fantastic people, experienced great friendliness, had THE best time.

Never once was I less than welcomed.....except perhaps when (on my Magna) I blundered into the middle of the Santa Fe HOG rally! Even then, I just said "Sorry, guys....I'm English!", producing smiles and shouts of "Well THAT explains it!".

If you don't try America, you'll never know.............
