When in Rome...

So Joel and I started our day with a little McDonalds, we had a bit of time to kill while Phil was in a meeting. I had a coffee and was hoping to let Joel burn off some energy in the play place.  He wasn't really interested so I was debating what to do next when I spotted a pet shop. Joel LOVES animals and we often make trips to see the fish so I thought it would be our next move.  Here is where my debate begins... In England I wouldn't think twice about walking a few stores down, but in America people tend to drive anything more than a stones throw.  

Do I walk or do I drive?

Am I more English or American?
