Hey all,Yesterday we got on the train for Manchester to see Claire and Paul! The train ride was amazing, absolutely gorgeous country side. I was like a little kid pointing every little thing out to DeAnn with an "ooohhhh, look."
We came to Claire's apartment to drop off our stuff and have a cuppa tea with them before heading out. The apartment is located outside of Manchester in Altrium. The first thing we did was go to a place called Dunham Massey a beautiful park! There was an old house, tons of trees, swans (that Katie discovered might be killer swans on her trip down here), deer, mallards, and green grass. Paul took his remote control airplane and demonstrated his most excellent flying skills.
After this, we went for some Indian food. It was really really really good. We had a lot of stuff, but I can not tell you what it was! It involved lamb, chicken, prawn, and varying spiciness of curry.
Today is Posh tea with Claire and more exploring. Tomorrow is Edinburgh, which we are looking forward to greatly.
Things we learned:
-The Queen owns all the swan
-You can bring dogs into country pubs with you
-April gets train sick
-British people think Americans live in Mansions
-April was being "daft" yesterday according to Paul
-Paul can do a really good American accent
Cheers,
Ape and De
Looks like you girls are having a blast! Happy for you! - Jill
