Coming to America

I booked my flight back home today. I'll be in flying in from London and will arrive in Tulsa at 11:16 p.m on June 4th. Unfortunately, I have 3 hour layover in the great city of Minneapolis. I'm going to spend two nights in London with one day travelling to and from and one full day to sightsee. Flying out from London turned out to be a lot cheaper than flying out from Paris and that's including the price of trains from Vichy to Paris to London.

It's beginning to look a lot more like Spring and Summer; I can finally where shorts and T-shirt outside. I remember Paul and Lyndsey telling about how to dress in France, but the funny thing is when we went to Lyon I saw Crocs store. It was surprising.

It's common to get potatoes on your pizza.

Even though Coca-Cola is well known over here none of my friends have heard of Coke floats and they've never heard of Root Beer floats let alone Root Beer. So, I was thinking we might get together and have some. Some of my friends were put off a little by adding liquid sugar to solid sugar and eating it. But it is gooood.

Also, I have confirmed you can buy beer at McDonald's or "McDo" as the French like to call it. Speaking of beer I haven't seen any Budweiser. The main brands seem to be Heineken, Kronenburg (Danish or German), and 1664 (French) and you can find Coronas but it's not standard to serve them with lime.

I found out (via Wikipedia) one of the wineries we visited had committed wine fraud in 1998 by adding water, milk, and fruit additives to their wine.

My Norwegian friend brought me back some Norwegian brown cheese which is really good. It's made with cow's and goat's milk with some caramel (I think) which gives it the brown color. The Slovakian girl brought us all back a little bottle of 40 proof Slovakian alcohol.

Well, have good day.
