I was early, so the waiting area close to where my flight was going out from was quite empty, but after a while … an older American woman sat across from me. They … they like to talk, Americans. She was telling me how her daughter lived in Amsterdam, and she was going … that she would visit her. How she’d never been outside of the USA before, but there was a first time for everything.
