“I don’t think it ever dawned on me just how young the United States is until I saw Europe. Everything there has history, the buildings and even the people. Even with all of the history, it is so well preserved. We visited the Colosseum like most tourists and marveled at how beautiful it was on the inside and out. It was built in 70 AD… it’s insane that it’s still standing, especially considering everything that structure has been through. I understand nothing about construction, but even still, how can you not appreciate something so magnificent?”
