Lincoln-ing

So I have now had my first real day in good ol' England!

To clarify to all of those interested... I am in Lincoln right now (a city about three hours north of London) I wont be in London till wednesday. So I am with my family so today was all about getting my bearings here.

Woke up a little late...half way through the day here .. BUT to my defense it was early back home. At which point I had tea and crumpets for breakfast. As you can see I am still doing as many English things as physically possible haha. The youngest cousin (Euan) went off to football ( NOT american football... the ACTUAL football that the rest of the world knows it to be haha). Then my oldest cousin (Angus) my Aunt and I took a walk into the center of Lincoln to get him some new squash shoes and me some things I needed .... and some things I didn't. But they were pretty things so its okay.

After a walk back up steep hill (yes thats the name of the street into town is called. I'll give you three guesses as to why, and the first two don't count) We went to a hotel for a few drinks... MOJITOS! before supper. My first legal drink in a bar! Followed by supper which was a traditional sunday roast...at a pub! WOO HOO MORE ENGLISH THINGS! haha

Fun Fact: my aunt and I are both EXTREMELY and embarrassingly bad at holding our own accents whenever we are around someone with an accent we pick it up in all of 20 minutes. Not on purpose and neither of us realize we are doing it. So since I have been spending all of my time with her we have come up with some weird american/british combo accent, and I'm sure it will only get worse by wednesday haha.

KELLY- I doubt you are reading this BUT in response to one of your first posts... I SAW THE DARTS ON TV! youre right the crowd is very very excited for...darts... haha AND apparently one of the guys in the finals right now lives down the street from my nana. weird right?

Okay thats all for today!
I feel like I have more to say... but I also feel like no one really wants to read every thought that comes to mind haha
