above: Fish and chips + The mushy peas
STELLA!
Well, we had our first Thanksgiving in England...I guess the actual antithesis of Thanksgiving, being here in England...but, oh well. jackie and I worked all day, met up at our apartment, and decided to go back into town to a pub. The Royal London, as it is called, is a cute mix between a bar and a coffee shop. We didn't realize that they don't actually serve you at your table...you order everything at the bar. So, we both decided on fish and chips because we hadn't had it yet. It was quite good! We also both got a beer. I decided on a Stella (for you, Brit!) and Jack got a Strongbow...which is like cider . So, that was our night. Interesting tidbit...the fish and chips come with "mushy peas." Literally, mashed up peas. I have no idea why, but, it was good! We went to eat and then came home, and did the usual....go on the internet and go to bed, usually before nine because of how dark it gets. Oh, and we have no TV, so, all we have is internet. So, that was our Turkey day, not as yummy as all of the American people's was, but....we did it England style.
The next day, Friday, we both went to work in the morning. I saw electric shock therapy....which was CRAZY, and jack was on the ward....then we went to meetings and were off by 2pm, so went shopping in wolverhampton. Let me tell ya, it's not very big, but, we looked and hung out until it got dark (about 4ish) and eventually made our way home, via our lovely friend, the bus. Pretty uneventful Friday...but, we are happy, although still FREEZING in our apartment....more to come later!

Kris & Jack...sounds like you guys are having an amazing time! Sure sad I'm not there to partake in the fun. But, I'm so honored you drank a Stella for me! As I sit in the freezing cold psych hospital listening to patients scream in their crazy talk I will think of you fondly! Miss you guys!
