Day one report.....After a long journey we arrived safely but lost a night somewhere along the way. After a 5 am start on Sunday, two flights and a bus journey, we got to our friend Mary's house in CA around 4.30 am UK, Monday!!! It was only about 8.30pm here and instead of flopping into bed we found a last spark of vitality somewhere and ate a lovely meal that Neet and Mary kindly had ready for us, plus a rather large G&T before we got to bed about 10.30pm. I slept until 7am! Not bad!
Today was really sunny and warm .... but what did we do... we crafted all day, caught up with chatting and relaxed and made cards for a good cause for Mary.
Lovely day... then we went out for an Italian meal of the most ginormous proportions. I think there is more in those doggy bags we brought home than we ever ate in Caruso's restaurant!
Here's Mary's friend BJ with the pizza that automatically came with our meals, plus salads, garlic bread and of course the main courses that we HAD ordered. A lesson learned early on in our trip... Caz and I will order one meal to share in future.
Glad to hear you've arrived safely and that you've gotstraight into the crafting. That's some side order you have there!
ReplyDeleteOh the journey must have been exhausting but I see you have got your energy back, especially after that huge meal! I have heard that american portions are way bigger then ours and that it is just about right for Europeans to order one for two! Enjoy!
