The Sheriff

Another interesting thing in America is of course the police here. They really look like the police you know from TV series and movies. Not green-yellow (Germany) or white-black with neon-yellow wests (Ireland). And they don't have boring names like Polizei or Gardi over here... no... here they are called Sheriffs or Marshals, wear black uniforms and have a proper handguns.

All this makes it of course not easier to ask one of them for a picture. But I got lucky last weekend! I met a Sheriff at a night-out and my friends told me... if you not asking him now, you will never do. So I asked... and given that I was an German tourist he was very friendly and willing to take a picture with me. Thanks again! I hope he will be as friendly as this when we might meet again... pulling me over for speeding or things like that ;-)
