Well I am finally back in England, Salisbury England to be exact. Home of the tallest spire in the country, this city is really cool and I actually remember my way around. Driving on the opposite side of the road came right back to me, even driving an SUV for the first time over here on their extremely narrow roads wasn't too hard, I am proud of myself. I haven't had to go into work yet, that starts tomorrow, and it sounds like this could be a long month of work as they are already behind schedule. I couldn't sleep at all on the plane ride over, usually I can sleep anywhere, but for some reason sleep was not mine this year. I crashed for a couple hours at our cottage before dinner then we were off the pub for some food. This pub, called the Angel, was new to me but served the best steak I have had in three trips to this country. One thing I always have to adjust to over here is the amount time it takes at a restaurant. Our meal last night easily took over 3 hours. Between each course they usually wait about a half hour, whether you are ready or not. I am not saying it is bad, but in the states we are used to going into a restaurant and depending on the party size getting out of there in roughly an hour, it takes a little bit of adjusting. Today we went to watch my boss's son Ross play football (soccer). They got smashed 6-3. These boys are 14 and 15 years old but could have easily taken on an American high school team. Their understanding of the game is much more advanced than kids in the US. Right now we are ordering some indian food and watching rugby. It is good to be back, I have really missed the people here and I can't wait to get out and take some pictures. Expect some shots soon, I think I am taking my camera to the streets tonight.
