The thing about England is.....

So after my first full week here I've decided the following:
1) I love cheddar and pickle sandwiches (particularly from pret--something about that pickle!)
2) I don't love the trend of women wearing short skirts or shorts with tights and flats....it just looks wrong!
3) Some food choices are just wrong....for example
---boiled egg on pizza
---corn in tuna fish (and corn on pizza....eww)
---a Haggis Mac (available on at McDonald's in Scotland at special times of the year--BLECH)
4) there's just too much to see in a few weekends--especially with the wonky hours
5) the little gardens off of peoples houses are lovely
6) it's super expensive to live here (what I thought was a months rent and thus comparable to DC is actually the per week rent!!
7) I had no desire at all to try the "vegetarian haggis" or lump of bread pudding on Portabello Rd this a.m.
8) Beefeaters and the bearskin hat guardsmen look pretty rad in their uniforms
9) It'd be pretty cool to be married at the Tower of London (as someone was today when we were there)
and lastly,
10) I would LOVE to live here----if only I could get a job--or better yet, a nice Scottish husband (it's really the best accent)

Photos will be posted tomorrow night....
Night love!
