Now this is the third time I read threads saying how large the States are.
They are huge, no doubt. I know it 'cause I lived there for three years. But when
it comes to travelling around places you guys probably don't know that Europe is huge
as well. Norway belongs to Europe as well as Portugal, and the distance from Hammerfest (way up in Norway)
to Lissabon in Portugal is 5200 KMs, a bit more than New York to San Francisco. Which is 4700 KMs.
Just a thought on distances in the States and Europe. Hope you people over the ditch realize that Europe is
big as well.
