Amazing video. Thank you so much for taking use all along in your adventures. Be safe and as always, Have fun... 🤠 🤔By the way, I have to ask, How much wait have you gained in all of your travels? All of the foods you have been putting away look really good. 😋😋😁

Haha, none! I get this question a lot. Actually, I'm usually down one or two kilograms when I come back from the US (stress probably) and they're quickly gained back with Mommatastic's food 😇) When in the US, I keep the same weight as I balance my meals. I don't show everything that I eat on videos, the ones that appear are usually not that healthy and they don't represent the majority of my meals. I also walk a lot during my travels and try to work out whenever possible. The goal is to stay healthy to explore as much as possible 😁

I was thinking that too. You’ve gotten quite “Americanized” with the yummy food items we eat. The only thing that hasn’t been Americanized is developing that… American Tummy! Some places you don’t need to look too far for examples.

Your taste in travel options and locations makes you a superb videographer. It may not be your prime objective, but I wonder if you realize how tremendous a service your adventures provide. All the wonder you've experienced, the memories you've made and recorded, the monumental joy you've shared, cannot be calculated. You've shown the people of the world, even the people of their own country, so much of what they may never be able to see themselves. I hope you know the extraordinary value of what you do. Priceless. And you're not close to done yet! 👍❤

Marie, it's so awesome seeing you finding all the wildlife around you and pointing it out. So many people don't take the time to see it, and it's something that I feel makes any adventure more memorable. I cringed a bit when you mentioned that you had things happen to you. The downside of nonstop adventure is both physical and mental fatigue, and with fatigue the possibility of injury or illness increases. Luckily, you're still young so it's less likely to happen, but it's still something to be aware of. I know when it comes to me and my adventures, I go all out and expend all of my energy and end up having to recuperate at work!🤣 Congratulations on your new shirt! You know you've officially "made it" when you have your own merch line! 😃 I look forward to seeing that last bit of your time here in the States! Take care and keep smiling!

That looks like a CSX6000 - 427 S/C Cobra. A modern continuation by Shelby of America (since 1997) of the classic British AC Shelby Cobras (Ford engine). The original Shelby Cobras were produced in Los Angeles from 1961 to 1968, and a total of 998 were built.

My 6-year old son spotted an original 427 Cobra in a town near us popular with the rich and famous. Talked to the owner. Only 330 or so were made. Worth at least a cool million. Carroll Shelby made 2 personal ones. Gave one to his friend who, of course, wrecked it. Carroll’s recently sold for $6 million I think. It’s crazy. 427 w/twin superchargers. 800 hp in late 60’s. 😂😂

Very few AC Cobras were 427. The vast majority were the mark 1 and mark 2 with the 289 engine, which were substantially different chassis from the mark 3 used for the 427 (Only about 100 were the 427 "competition" model and half of those were converted to street legal and sold as "S/C".). AC also sold some 289 variants in Europe, but they were not finished by Shelby American.

Also, finding the live snail was pretty awesome. You have a good eye for cool cars. The Shelby Cobra, and the Chevy Nova SS are beautiful. Especially the Cobra. Keep up the good work.❤😊 Also, I think having a blooper video is a great idea. I think it would be pretty fun. I think we can all relate to having mishaps. Especially when we're exhausted. And it's always fun to look back and laugh at things afterwards.😂

Kansas Grandpa Checking in. I'm glad you had a chance to rest and recuperate. Most Americans that have been to France were sent there with a Rifle. I am an old U.S. Army Veteran. I had a chance to go to Europe while I was in the Army but I declined. It's fun to watch you discover the U.S. ... Big Place isn't it. ... Your English is good enough now that I should send you my books. I'm a fiction writer with 4 books published. I think I'll send them to you. One is a Christmas Story. Perhaps I'll send that first. They are all less than 200 pages so they are quick to read. Good stories all. When you're home and it's raining some night, that would be a good night for a storybook from your Kansas Grandpa. The Christmas Story is called 'Murphy, The Prince & The Deer Who Could Fly' I think I'll also send the most recent, 'When All The Pieces Come Together. It involves Native Americans on a secluded lake in Northern Wisconsin. It will remind you of your time in Minnesota. Minnesota and Wisconsin are very much alike. ... Yes, I think I'll do that. You live a pretty busy life. You might not have time to read them until you are very old. But If I send them, You will at least have them when you are wanting a good story. Be well Marie... Love, Kansas Grandpa..

Even during WW2, there was about 1.5 US military send to all of Europe. Let’s stick to fact and leave fiction for your book

@@mracer8it really depends on where you grow up. My dad’s family grew up poor and literally the only people he knew who’d been to Europe or Asia went courtesy of the US Armed Forces. If you’re talking absolute numbers - sure, most people go as tourists. But they’ve got money, and there’s a lot of America that doesn’t have that. Especially up until about twenty five years ago, it was really not something most folks could afford. For them, the folks who went abroad were soldiers and sailors. Let’s not forget them.

Great Video and beautiful imagery! One word of warning, (that you may already know), after seeing the caterpillar on your shoe, if you have a brightly colored caterpillar/insect/etc on your clothes don't try to remove it or brush it off with your bare hands, especially if it has hairs, bristles, or is fuzzy. There's a reason that they aren't colored to blend in with their surroundings. They are most often poisonous and/or have severe stinging abilities so they don't have to worry about hiding from predators.

Hey! So you already saw the Shelby Cobra! When you order yours, I highly recommend you get the 289 or 302 V-8 engine. The bigger engines, like the 427 or 428, are just too much power for long-driving safety. The smaller V-8’s are plenty powerful enough and way more fun to safely zoom around.

If you ever want to mentally recapture how the local Connecticut forests and lakes look, in the summer, you could try streaming the movie Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)! It was filmed in Kent and New Preston, Connecticut, in the summer of 1980. Most of the movie is filmed in daylight, so it isn't really very scary. Mystic Pizza is another good Connecticut movie, and also Another Earth, starring Brit Marling. The movie Tell-Tale (2009) was filmed in Rhode Island, by the way. I'm not sure if you got to visit there, but it's also very pretty. Tell-Tale starred Lena Headey and Josh Lucas, you should be able to find it, knowing that. Sorry, I'm telling you about scary movies... it's almost Halloween, I can't help it.

Hey Marie. Please don't think I object at all to your voice and voiceovers, but I really appreciate how you mostly let the videos and captions speak for you. Not sure what it is, but maybe it's just easier to focus on the visual input when the auditory input is mostly just music. Again, not trying to discourage you from talking, but I think the amount of your talking in the videos is just the right amount. It kind of gives the sense that we're joining you in a companionable and comfortable silence while we see the sights together.

The Art Institute has a great world class collection of French impressionists (don't miss the Thorne miniature rooms, which include period French interiors); the Museum of Science and Industry has the only existing captured German WWII submarine and enigma machine, which you can tour inside; The Field Museum of Natural history has the world's most complete T-Rex skeleton; the Shedd Aquarium is incredible; the Adler Planetarium has great exhibits and a great sky show; the Chicago River architectural boat tour should not be missed (skyscrapers were invented here); the world's largest (5 story) Starbucks is worth checking out; The suburban Brookfield Zoo is the second largest Zoo other than San Diego; and the beaches (fresh unsalted water) are great. Also visit the massive and amazing Morton Arboretum in the suburb of Lisle (take a great tram ride tour), which has trees from around the world, and have dinner at the nearby Greek Islands very authentic Greek restaurant (and get some local favorite Saganaki flaming cheese).

You won’t find lizards in Connecticut. I can see where you are in Connecticut and that’s more of the different areas that not much people visit in the state. Did you go to Vernon CT?

Yes you can find lizards in Connecticut. You can find the Five-lined skink and the Italian wall lizard. We have rattlesnakes in the back section of our property in the rock ledges and in the piles of leaves.

I've heard of people putting dog tick collars around their ankles. I guess you need to wear tall socks or long pants to keep the collars off your skin. I never tried this myself. There was one time I went on a bird watching class that I wish I did. My group looked like a troop of monkeys picking ticks off of each other except we didn't eat the ticks. :).

Another very enjoyable video Marie. Be careful with our American food. It is very addictive and you may actually put on a pound or two. I do hope that your passion for my country always remains. I did notice that you referred to them as fireflies which is of course very common. In some parts of the states we refer to them as Lightning bugs. I live in New York. I look forward to more videos.
