    Just got back, not going to go on an anti American rant, but got to my moms place after 3 months in Africa and said I'll buy delivery cheap Italian dinner. Penne ala vodka with peas and ham 24 bucks, fettucine alfredo with shrimp 26 bucks, so just for one cheap dinner here could live 3 days on the ocean front with breakfast, lunch, dinner with 3 course meals, went to her fridge and will make dinner. The world is a big place, travel is good
