Answer:

After reading this excerpt, I would say that <em>the speaker is amazed by America</em> and that <em>he and his father don't feel comfortable with that feeling because they know deep down inside that they don't belong there.</em>

Explanation:

I think it is pretty clear how amazed the speaker is by America when he says: "<em>We stood awhile, </em><em>marveling at America</em>", but somthing inside is still making him feel sad inside, and that shows when he says: "<em>both of us trying hard to feel luckier  than we felt</em>". This sad feeling the speaker and his father had I think it is because they loved that place, but still felt they were visitors there, they didn't feel America as their home. This is very clear when the speaker says: "<em>when we backed away, we saw our reflections  / superimposed, big-eyed, dressed too formally  / with all due respect </em><em>as visitors to this country.</em>"
