US Citizens who do not know their Country?

Today Robert and I headed to Paris for 3 nights away. Oma kept the kids for us, with the help of Tante Heidi and Onkel Dieter. We caught an early train, 6:50am. We started to get a little panicked because getting to Paris required 3 trains, with only a few minutes between them. Of course, our first train was delayed by 10 mins, which only left us 2 mins to switch to the second train. We boarded and found seats. Robert and I were talking when all of the a sudden, the gentleman next to us started talking to us in English. He was very nice assuring us that we would make the next connection, with no problem.

After a few more minutes, he asked us if he could as us a question - of course! So apparently he is a teacher and is taking his students to the West Coast and wanted to know some interest stopping points between Death Valley and San Francisco, something interesting to see around Bakersfield. Robert and I just looked at each other, we had no idea. Turns out, there probably is nothing to see around Bakersfield.
