3. The Treaty of Tripoli

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

9. My partner's friends from Switzerland visited us

a few years ago. A young woman her mother and aunt. They had never been to the states before. The things that amazed them were:

1. The size of the rental car they had (it was a standard, regular Taurus I think)The couldn't get over how big it was.

2. The size of our house. (Then we lived in a little cookie-cutter 2 bedroom 2 bath, in a brand new development). They thought it was HUGE.

And

3. How many churches there were. We lived in Greensboro at the time. Drove them around the city for a while and they were ASTONISHED at the number of churches. They were almost freaked out about it.
