A friend and I got picked up by a patrol car as we were walking down the coast road in Northern California (it was a bear avoidance measure). The officer was really nice about it (we were tourists from the UK and I'm still not sure if we were actually "jaywalking" or if he was just doing us a good turn). Anyway, as we came out of the redwoods he advised us to look out the window as sometimes you can see Wales. To which I responded "surely Wales is on the other side of the country?". Not my proudest moment.
