We are ugly Americans in our own country

So, it turns out that huge numbers of tourists from Europe & Asia visit the national parks during the summer. I swear I've heard more languages on this trip than I did walking down Embassy Row in DC. The very nice family camping next to us is French. Yesterday, the family behind us at the grocery store was Australian. This morning, we drove by a group of German motorcyclists. This amused Caroline. At the Grand Canyon, we passed this young boy sitting in Supai Tunnel. "Nice spot to sit," I said. "I am from the Czech Republic," he said. A few minutes later, Annie walked by & said hello to him. "I am from the Czech Republic," he said.
