This month has been busy. Andrew was becoming uneasy that we had lived in England for longer than 30 days and had not yet gone on any roadtrips. "We haven't seen anything yet!" he exclaimed (or something along those lines) as I was perusing our many photos from various landmarks within the city of London. I tease, but I understand. This wasn't the easiest move for our family so enjoying some of the perks is paramount. Since that conversation we have been on 3 roadtrips and now feel content for a while.
The first trip was to see the White Cliffs of Dover in Kent. They were majestic. The car ride out was a little daunting as it was Andrew's first time driving on the left side of the road and right side of the car. Not only that, but the GPS took him right through the center of London for his big initiatory drive. I don't know if either of us breathed until we made it outside the city. Driving in London is absolutely crazy. There is no other way to describe it. I haven't counted but I wouldn't be surprised if there were over 15 lights at some intersections. Who knows what they all mean or why they have so many. And the roundabouts...more like an opportunity for multiple lanes of traffic to converge and cut each other off. Then there are traffic cams everywhere and buses and taxis that have different rules than the rest of us. Our goal is to never drive in central London ever again. It is a disorganized mess (which is really a reflection of just about everything in the UK but I'm going to hold back for a later post).
When she makes this face she reminds me so much of Cam. I think they have the same smile.
