4 Americans Abroad - 3 Years in England

Isn't it gorgeous? It will never not be gorgeous to you. You will always want to capture images of rolling green English hills and share them with the world. The first time you see a stone bridge and sheep, you will quite literally squeal.  Back to driving - that car you're about to rent from Steve's? Ther
