England is fabulous! March 6, 2008

We arrived in London this morning and picked up our Alpha Romeo Brera super fabulous car and headed out to Stonehenge. It’s really scary riding on the wrong side of a car driving down the wrong side of the road! Easy to forget you have to look to your right before turning right because traffic will be coming straight at you. ACK! We saw Stonehenge and then drove through Avebury and made a stop in Stow-on-the-Wold. I love the names here – things are on a river, or in a marsh or by sea. Anyway, Stow-on-the-Wold is really old and has a fabulous church we stopped to photograph. We also found a place with the best latte I have ever had. It was so yummy. If I drive past Stow again, I will definitely stop for that coffee. We then drove up to Coventry and checked in to Coombe Abbey – it has a website, look it up – and took photos of the grounds. We went out for dinner and had authentic fish and chips and peas (yea.. peas?) and a pint. Yum yum. I think the name of the place was Coundon’s. It was fun! We are now back at our swanky Abbey hotel that is super fabulous and about ready to go to sleep.

One other thing about traffic – the stop lights turn yellow before they turn red, but they also turn yellow before they turn green so cars get a head start on getting past. huh.

The lights in this hotel room turn on by pulling a big pull next to the bed! I love it!! :)

Miss the kids, but I bet they are having a great time. I love you, Cammy and Binks!!!
