"I don't think America will have really made it until we have
our own salad dressing. Until then we're stuck behind the French,
Italians, Russians and Caesarians."
--Pat McNelis
Today's lesson is on meal names.
Breakfast=Breakfast
Lunch=Dinner
Dinner=Tea
I guess you are "posh" if you say lunch and dinner rather than dinner and tea. I have decided that I am posh. I have also decided that the food issues are only present in Carlisle. I have had some okay meals in Durham, but nothing as bad as in Carlisle. I have been very impressed. Overall, the service in restaurants here is lacking--you are lucky to get your check, let alone your glass of tap water refilled.
So, I am down to the last couple of days on my trip. It has definitely been an adventure. I have met so many great people. I've learned about lawn mower racing, the local eateries, the train system, the 3 million sheep (I know, they have multiplied and replenished again! There are still some to name...just £1). I have seen some of the most beautiful land and scenery here. Most of all, I have learned that long-term travel by myself is no longer something I fancy. I am grateful for the opportunity I have been given--to be trusted with training my UK peers. I would do it again, for the experience, but I miss being with the boys and Kary.
