Google Search Thinks I'm In Netherlands (translates everything in Dutch; I'm in United States)

What is the expected behavior?
To search for internet content and not be restricted by locale... or to search for internet content and have everything return in default language (english). 

What went wrong?
Recently visited Amsterdam and since I've been back, my computer still thinks that I am there. Not sure how to fix. Not sure how my searches are being limited based on the perceived location of my computer. Searching on Google works as expected on IE, Firefox.

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? Yes Before November 2016

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

Trying to use "Chrome Cleanup". I imagine it's have me restart session... so I'm submitting before I know if it'll work.

Well, uh, the "Google Cleanup Tool" worked. Not quite sure how I stumbled across this...

Hi - this is an issue with Google Search, not Chrome. It sounds like
you were able to fix it, but if not please open an issue with that product
instead.
