It's funny how different things seem after leaving a place for so long and then returning to it. America mostly seems the same, but certain things stand out a lot to us now. Here are 10 random observations from a furloughing missionary's first week.
There is A LOT of sugar in everything.
Things are big, from buildings to people to serving sizes at restaurants.
We keep our country clean and quite well-manicured.
We have a lot of laws, especially about driving, which most people seem to completely disregard.
Baylor is not nearly so interesting to people here as there are a plethora of other young blonde children.
Everything looks new and often shiny, except for my three year old clothes.
There is too much security in airports.
People schedule everything and the whole day is filled, even weekends.
August is hot.
When you order a sandwich without mayo, it actually comes without mayo.
