Yesterday, Rachael and I picked up our rental car. It is a VW Polo which is very nice.
I have to admit that I have been nervous about driving on the left side of the road. Let me just say that it is a bit of a shock to the system. But worse than driving on the wrong side of the road is all the roundabouts! Crazy!
Anyway, Rachael is convinced that we are going to get into an accident. I don’t think I am driving that badly though. We will see!
We visited Stonehenge and Avebury today. Then we went to Telford where we are staying for two nights to see the Ironbridge area. After that we head to North Wales for 4 days before heading back. Then we head home. Hard to believe that it is so close.

I went for a 20+ mile bike ride near Oxford on the wrong side of the road. It does freak you out a bit. Tell Rach that if she survived driving around LA with me, you should do fine in England. Smart move renting the car for N. Wales, there is nothing there but hills, coal mines, and Welsh speakers. Watch rugby in Welsh, you’ll enjoy it.
I’ll be back in July. Let’s set up a playdate.
