Why is America so Big

Hello, long time no talk.

I don't know why, but the last two weeks went by quicker than I thought it would.

Last night, Phuong and I were going to stay up because we had to leave for the airport at 4:30 in the morning. But I gave in and fell asleep around 2:00. Amazingly, she stayed up.

I wondered how tired she was.

We left at 4:45. I dropped her off at the airport. I hugged her, saw her line up to go into the boarding area.

I wish we lived closer to each other. Why does America have to be so big? Big isn't always good. I don't understand why rulers think the more land they have, the better, smarter, they will be. It's not true at all.

Maybe I'll move to a small country when I'm older. Small and friendly. Nice meals. Places to visit everyday. Maybe a mountain to climb each morning. A lake. Friends. Neighbors.

Maybe next summer, or next winter, or whenever I have the money, I will visit California.
