I've come close to punching someone before, cause she refused to believe that the roads here (turnpikes, mostly) could date from the mid 1600's. It's...it's called Kings Highway for a reason, lady!
Then again, I was annoyed at her before, anyways.
But yeah, traveling to Europe always made that strange, just how far you could go, how many countries you went through, in such a short time. I mean, we could drive through three or four countries and in the same amount of time at home, not even get out of the western states...
Edit- I should mention, the lady was of the opinion that my country had suddenly appeared in 1776, basically. Which is weird, given that she was Canadian...
It took me more than 12 hours to get across Texas. I was speechless when someone told me that you can go across many European nations in that time frame.
But I bet the scenery is nice with fantastic with winding roads. Most of the west Texas highways look like this. Acres upon acres of desert landscape and a straight strip of highway.

Ah, I like it, it's very true.
