America, land of the free home of the brave – or is it…a few closing thoughts on Greece

Day #377 on the road…

We have a few miles left to ride in Greece to a ferry to leave the country.

In 3 1/2 months we rode approx 4000 miles/ 6400km all over the country and still have a little to go…

Greece is about the same size as Alabama!

There are a few things NOT so good about the country if you were to compare it to the US according to one site I stumbled upon…

• be 3.8 times more likely to be unemployed
• make 55.3% less money
• have 12.22% less free time

but there are a lot more positives

• be 82.81% less likely to be in prison
• spend 77.02% less money on health care
• use 57.05% less electricity
• consume 46.02% less oil
• be 63.16% less likely to be murdered
• experience 23.78% less of a class divide
• be 22.53% less likely to die in infancy
• be 83.33% less likely to have HIV/AIDS
• live 0.74 years longer
• have 34.43% fewer babies
