Tally ho !

From Rhonda:

Tally ho!! or something like that. What an experience this has been. We have been in Britain for a full day or so I think. That jet lag is hitting me or maybe it was that long night with the new family. Carol and Sean had there Laws and Customs ceremony last night. In true American fashion, I only needed this to take about 2 hours but in African fashion we did not leave the house until @100am. Lucky for us Carols bridesmaid N'Kem(cool girl) drove us back to the hotel to save us the 50 lb fair. You got it, we would have paid 100.00 dollars to get back to the hotel. Somehow God always has us in his favor. We would have been Broke in Britain's right now. It was so interesting to meet Carol's sister and two brothers. They have such similarities.

This experience makes me wonder how America is the "Super" power. Our approach is so America focused that it is an eye opener to see that we are partners in a World. In just this short time we have seen people from all corners of the world. There have been Nigerians, Jamaicans, Asians, French and Italian people everywhere. It's like going to New York. I used to think that Americans smoked too much. Now, if you were to ask me I'd say the entire world smokes to much. If I counted everyone I've seen smoking, I'd earn a degree in counting. No wonder there's smog, some say its from exhausts but I think it's mainly cigarette smoke.

Well we'll see what today brings. After a long jet leg nap we are on to the Tube to see what we can see.

A Real Foxy Time

Where's Elmer Fudd when you need him. Here in London they don't have to worry about raccoons rumblng through their trash. No, not at all. But last night Elmer Fudd could have switched from hunting rabbits and taken his turn at foxes. Not foxy ladies....real, live foxes!!! These things run through the street at night like stray pets. I could not believe we saw 3-4 last night. They have become experts at crossing the street. They know when to look left and when to look right (Unlike the two of us who have to keep each other from getting run over). Needless to say, we will be back in the hotel room before I have a close encounter of the pass out kind.
Blogging again soon,
