I used to think that all rivers ran from north to south, i.e. from the top of the
map to the bottom. It seemed natural. I also got very excited when I first saw
a complete map of North America. When I saw "Newfoundland" I though it
was soooo neat that they were still discovering unknown places--and so
close to the U.S., too!
