AMERICA

Presently I am in USA visiting my son.   This is my first visit.   Impressed with the country.   Lot of good things to see and adopt.   Travelled to Washington, Pittsburg, Nayagara falls, New York.   Covered about 1500 miles in car.   Amazing road infrastructure.   Invested hugely in laying roads and their maintenance is more amazing.   There is not a single road which is bad and require immediate attention.   No pot holes.
