End of topic due to Americans seeing states as countries. Bummer.

It's a travel topic, not a countries visited topic. This is perfectly acceptable conversation about travel.

I might make a map as well. Could be fun.

I like how you can easily see that Kansas and Iowa are the most boringly organized states based on counties.

How did you guys generate those maps? Did you fill in each county from memory or what?

Austin55 Offline

Yes. Just using Paint's bucket tool. And google Earth to track the counties.

Shogo-You missed Dallas and Tarrant counties then. They are the two square counties just above where you stopped. You can always find Dallas county because Rockwall is the really small square to the top right of Dallas.

Went to Italy the last days, new country for me. Didn't like it though, while the landscape and climate were amazing, the road were terrible (and it were even toll roads...), signalization a disaster, infrastructure complete illogical.

Not all bad though. Pizza's were delicious and the women were beautiful. Denmark and Sweden are up next week.
