Germany. She lives in "the fuck is going on here" and considers states by their shape. At one time she confused all rectangular states and called them "the square states" and called me once to tell me she wanted to come an visit me and bought a book about the national park near me so she would have an idea about the place... Yosemite NP. Except I live next to Yellowstone NP. We both had a good laugh about that. She still hasn't made it here to visit yet, doesn't like camping and I guess she thinks that's all we have for housing out here. It's pretty funny.
