And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA
Well, there’s pride in every American heart
And it’s time we stand and say
That I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA

A somewhat belated photo dump from our last two days in America.





























America, it’s been wonderful being back after so many years of pandemic-enforced absence from your shores. Thanks to everyone who made time for a race, a lunch, dinner, a game or just a few minutes to have a chat. It was great seeing everyone again and I’ll see you all soon!
