Hi all. I am out in London until tomorrow for something called a Joint Study Session. It is pretty cool, as they basically gather up all of the folks here on exchange for briefing and discussion for a couple of days. It has been a lot of fun sharing stories about all of the "fun" bits about integrating into British life and culture... most have a lot the same experiences. Like how when you first get here, you think it is cute and quaint to shop at all of the high streets in all of the little towns, but then at a time like Christmas when you have to actually get some real shopping down, it takes 3 weeks to buy a few shirts and a football because to have to travel to 7 different towns hoping for a store that is selling what you are looking for. My Kingdom for a shopping mall!
The events here are quite nice... last night we went out for dinner with all of the air force officers. A very different meal... I would like to tell you what we ate but I honestly don't know what it was. The appetizer looked a lot like a slice of that balogna you can buy with the alphabet noodles cooked in, but to be honest, I am not even certain if it was meat. Tasty all the same. London has been nice, no rain but a little cool. Tonight is the first and last free night here, so I hope to find some cheap tickets to see a show as our hotel is in the middle of the theater district. A few more briefings tomorrow, then back home. I am sure that Laura is lookin forward to a break! Hope this finds you well... Mark
