Jodi and Bridgette made it to the UK in good shape, albeit a bit tired. They brought with them pure American prezzies of liquor, Twizzlers and a long-sleeved t-shirt from the one and only Red Baron Show Lounge in Edgerton, Wisconsin.
We three united girlies walked in pissing rain to the town centre for much needed medicinal coffee intake and a light tour of Maidenhead. After veritable buckets of caffeinated beverages were consumed, we did what American girls do: we bought make-up and Diet Coke. ![]()
Fish and chips made up our first proper British meal and we’ve indulged in culture —cough— lessons on Sky Digital Television. Beds have been made and I sit here about to turn in for the night. Tomorrow we venture to London for the New Year’s festivities and copious sightseeing. It’s a shame about the rain we’re having, but I guess it’s better than snow.

I’m sure the snow is waiting for next week, when I have to go back to work…

Have a terrific time girls! Remember to do some pub crawling, chav observing, and go see the mummies. No, wait a minute–that’s what I would do. Hey, you do whatever you want.

Hey… that was actually Jodi posting a comment under my name… sneaky chica!
Truly though, we are all having a wonderful time! Pictures and video of the New Year’s fireworks will be up in the next couple of days. It was unbelievably beautiful!
