5 days in England

HELLO ALL!!!!

I have been in England now for 5 days. I still feel like I am on vacation but I know that will end in a week or so when we move into our house. England is a pretty cool place but there are some things that drive me CRAZY!!! For example... speed limits are an exception except when there is a security camera, It rains... everyday (and not hard, just misting enough to make you mad), roundabouts... They just make me nervous, and everything here is backwards (you switch the light down, instead of up to turn it on).

As much as those things give me a tick, there are some amazing things and people here. I love that the towns are old, every building, every stone. It gives these places so much character. I love that there are daffodils EVERYWHERE!!! They make the dreariest day bright. Fish and chips are the BOMB dot COM! (and you have to eat them with salt and vinegar!) I can't wait to keep exploring and letting you all know more about England. Hopefully, if all works out and Bubba doesn't start work til Monday, we are going to try to take a day trip to London this weekend.

This past weekend we went to the south to the town of Paignton. It's a costal town, you can walk to the "beach" (a tiny bit of sand compared to American beaches). We stayed with an awesome couple who took us around to see the town and sights in the area. We can't wait to go back! On our way we passed Stonehenge. I got pictures from the road, it's crazy how you are driving along and the hills are green and then out in the middle of nowhere these rocks just pop up. It was pretty neat to see. I have a few pictures I'm going to post on facebook so you can see some of what we have seen from this weekend!
