England... day 3?

Ok so I think today is day 3 but I'm not 100% sure. So much done, so much to do and so much driving.
So far, we've flown on a very nice flight with no incidents and landed at Heathrow. Once off the plan we snagged our bags and changed into some fresh clothing. While taking our backpacks out of their duffle bag cover thingies I found that the TSA doesn't like Aunt Jemimas Syrup being in your bag as they took mine apart to find it and didn't really bother putting it back together again. They pulled lots of stuff out of the backpack and only kind of just stuffed it back in the duffal outer bag thingy instead of back into the backpack proper. Once that was all cleaned up and put back together, it was off to rent the car. Tiny little car... but it keeps up with traffic, holds all of the bags with ease and so far has had great gas milage. After about 4 minutes on roads around Heathrow to get used a stick shift again and driving on the left, it was onto the M25 and on our way to Vrinda's house.

We got to Vrinda's house pretty much without incident about an hour later, said hi to everyone and brought in our stuff. This is Saturday by the way... about 2:30pm by the time we got the car and drove to V's house. Once settled, George took us to an old Roman Amphatheater (at St. Albans) and ruins area where we looked around and spent some time in the dedicated museum. All of it was pretty interesting and they had some beautiful  mosiacs and stuff that was recovered around the site. After that closed down, we went to get some dinner. We ended up at a mexican resturant of all things. So while I wouldn't go so far as to call it mexican, it was pretty good none the less. I do think that will be our first and last mexican meal while in the EU area. After that it was off to home, and I think setting up a bed and getting into it, but I don't really remember as I was pretty much a zombie at that point.

The next morning (Sunday), we went off to an outdoor mall to get some supplies and a cell phone. After a few hours shopping we had needed supplies and a brand new 5GBP cell phone and 20GBP worth of minutes (not sure how much that actually turns out being, but we'll find out if we run out of them). After shopping, we went back to Vrinda and headed off to a cool little shopping area called Hitchens. Quaint little alley size streets and about 4 pizza places all within a 2 block radius. Sadly most places were closed because of it being Sunday, but we did end up going to one of the pizza places and it turned out being really good. After lunch, we went to a castle ruins area and also visited an old church (for Percy, Vrinda and George's five year old son) and its graveyard (for Andrea). Once everyones questions were answered and many a gravestone inspected, it was back home for a quick dinner, an inflating of the bed again and then sleep.

Today we did a road trip by ourselves, but thats a story for tomorrow. Also, pictures tomorrow. Anyone know of an android app that will allow me to open up Raw file format pictures?

Anyway.... adios for tonight, more tomorrow.
