All Across America

After staying in a town in Maryland, Glenelg, for a while after the visit to Inner Harbor, my uncle’s family and I moved on to New York altogether by car. Though these two States seemed as if they were really closely located from one another on the map, it took around six straight hours by driving to get to New York from Maryland. It was very interesting to see how buildings of New York suddenly appeared out of nowhere while driving on a highway in Pennsylvania. As portrayed very vividly in movies, New York definitely was a brilliant State, filled with immense buildings that were closely placed from one another, and these loads of fancy buildings made the State sparkle, assuring me that it surely was one of the most developed States in the world, probably the most developed State in the world.

For the first ten minutes or so, the only difference that came up in my mind was that it was placed right in the middle of New York.
