The freshest air could ever breathe. What did I taste? Come on, man. Look at the food that's here. And what did I feel? The warmest weather. It felt amazing, like a warm bath." "It's almost like going back in time 20 or 30 years. People are family oriented, God fearing. All the neighbors know one another. People walk arm in arm, hand in hand.
