How to Easily Spot an American Living in Georgia

1. On this day, it was about 65-70 degrees. We were wearing thin long sleeve shirts and pants--no jackets. We were really comfortable. I was amazed at how the Georgians dress on such a beautiful day! They wear their winter coats, hats, scarves....can you tell this little girl is wearing a down winter coat?

2. The second way to tell we are Americans is that we don't chain smoke. I am sure by the time I leave Georgia next year, this topic will have received its own posting...it is that bad.

3. As my kids happily run down the street, yelling and laughing, I glance around. Georgian children, of all ages, hold their parents' hands, walking silently next to them. Wow. Yes, we are LOUD Americans!
