Harvey,It sounds like Lisa did not get a thorough geography "lesson" about North America before she came to Milwaukee. Even a basic one would have her aware that the USA stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific. And looking on a globe would put a LOT into perspective for her. Even if Milwaukee

I do not know. But it was common saying that students were disappointed when
they were told that Californiawas too far away to go on a quick road trip.
This was before the Euro, my student was complaining that we justcouldn't go

Bill, Interesting - I do not remember ever seeing the overlay comparison done before.As Harvey correctly pointed out - these kinds of "comparisons" are only valid if the scales of the two land masses are the same. Harvey, did the exchange students never see a comparison of the USA and Europe land

That is really interesting. I did the math for total square miles not
counting Alaska and Hawaii
It is USA 3,468,000 square miles vs 2,970,000 square miles
Give or take a square mile or two.
Something I always found interesting. We had 3 foreign exchange students
from Europe.
Besides
Not legacy not even woodwork but I found this interesting down under
compared to the usa land area
