Well as you woke up to see, play has been suspended again and will resume at 1:30 our time and 8:30 your time. They will finish the matches today and play the singles matches tommorow morning starting at 9:00 am our time. We will be there ready for that but for today we are gonna watch it on TV. I know, I know..you are all thinking you wouldnt miss a shot if you were here but believe me it is a heck of a time watching in the rain and mud and you kinda need to pick your battles wisely. So for the mean time we are gonna recharge the old battery and get ready for some serious cheering tommorow!!
Here are some fun and weird facts about Wales to lighten the day:
Gas here cost about 9 american dollars per gallon
Taxis here drive very very fast
Lamb is the Welsh food of choice over here, but chicken and bbq still have my heart
You have to put your room key in a slot in the wall to turn on any electronics in your room
Europeans from what we have experienced are not as courteous as southern charm back home, and they drink a lot, all day
Architecture around here is head and shoulders above home, of course they have been living here a lot longer than us
Every intersection here is a traffic circle and i get dizzy and confused each time we encounter one, I wouldnt last a second driving over here
As a tourist you have to walk everywhere, and get lost, and then found, and then lost again
Chas and I have managed to blow up a converter for electronics, melt a Chi straightner (hair straightner for the guys out there) down to the core, set off the alarm in the elevator which is on the wrong side of the elevator, our money is basically useless over here because the exchange rate is garbage
Oh yeah, and the weather is less than to be desired, it rains a lot
Words we have learned to love and used quit often over here: Cheers (which is said for everything), Buggar (which is a word of disguist i think), Brilliant (which they say to sound smarter than me)
The local Pizza Hut is a fancy place, not like home
Service in the restaurants over here are not what we are used to, they take there time serving and getting out food, like two hours for dinner....this is why we went to mcdonalds and pizza hut
Did I mention the sun does not exist over here
Let me describe the breakfast buffet in the hotel: Red beans, potato cakes, blood sausage, pancakes, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, toast, hot tomatoes...so breakfast has been an experience
Their grocery store over here is called tesco and it is small and limited to what you can buy, they are very simple over here nand dont need huge harris teeters on every corner, but Starbucks is on every corner, I even think I saw two of then side by side
Thats all for now, but I might have more later!
GO USA!!
GOD IS GOOD!!
