Heathrow 2

I think Heathrow must be bigger (in land area) than Readfield. It is certainly more heavily populated.

My favorite moment of the 4 hours I spent there was when I got into a conversation with a woman who was traveling to Dallas. She was English, but she and her husband and kids (10 and 12 years old) have been living in Dallas for 3 years (I didn't ask why) and she expects they'll stay there permanently. She had been over here to visit her mother, who is in a nursing home.

We talked for quite a while about England, America, traveling, kids, and other topics, and then she said, "You don't have a very strong American accent."

It took me a minute (especially in my tired and jet-lagged fog) to figure out what she could possibly mean by this.

Okay, I admit it. I don't sound like a Texan.
