I've been basking in the glow of married life so have fallen slightly behind on my posts. Iain's parents came Stateside for our mini-marriage, which was just great. Alex doesnt travel and has never been to the States and while Daphne has travelled quite extensively, she has only been to NYC which as my Dad kept reminding them Is Not The United States. They both enjoyed it immensely, as best as I could tell. Alex had pizza FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
Some of Alex's favorite discoveries about the US:
1. You can order eggs 5 different ways and bacon comes with nearly everything!
2. The pedestrian crosslights have countdowns, which is really helpful!
3. Home Depot and Lowe's are twice the size and half the price of DIY places at home (a reoccurring theme)!
4. The LA Freeway system is awesome (in the awe-inspiring sense of the word, not the wow this is really great all I want to do on my holiday is drive around the damn LA freeways sense of the word).
5. If you believe the signs in their front yards, almost every home in Venice has a security guard with a gun inside just waiting to blow your burglarizing head off, sucker.
I apologize for missing Atrocity Friday ™. After yesterday's events in Baghdad, the marketing committee is considering rebranding. Who's psyched for World Refugee Day tomorrow? (I am! I am!)
