"This rock has become an object of veneration in the United States. I have seen fragments carefully preserved in several American cities. Does not that clearly prove that man's power and greatness resides entirely in his soul? A few poor souls trod for an instant on this rock, and it has become famous; it is prized by a great nation; fragments are venerated, and tiny pieces distributed far and wide," Alexis de Tocqueville

WHY
We live in America...but at the moment, we're abroad. To be more specific, two of us are heading to Amman, Jordan for the fall (one heading to Spain in the spring), and one of us to Buenos Aires, Argentina. At school in Washington, DC, we decided to begin our pursuit of what it means for us to be Americans, but now we're discovering what it means to be foreigners. Through quotations, photography, music and travel, we hope to show the identities of these different countries as well as our own identities.
