I have come to the conclusion that the things that are generally looked down upon in America are simply praised in this here land of England; you know, drinking, cursing, and eating everything with a side of heavy cream. Another thing that holds a completely different aura here than in the US is motor sports. Today, we visited the Silverston Speedway which is home to the prestigious Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix. Talk about luxury, the cheapest tickets to this race are in the thousands....of pounds, that is. And the wealth is deffinitely visible. Each race team brings in their own "trailer" to house their drivers and the post-race parties. Each "trailer" is bigger than my apartment and is decked out in swanky decor and plasma flatscreens. (My newsest life's ambition is to get invited to one such post-race party at the Ferrari hub.) We also learned about Lewis Hamilton (Carter, I really hope you know him) who is the newest young star of the Formula 1 world and happens to be extremely cute and successful. Ladies, google him along with a gent named Jenson from Britain. Both are VERY CUTE.
Following our excursion, we were treated to a tradional pub dinner at the historic Turf's Pub paid for by the nice people at Grady College. It was my very first experience with authentic fish and chips: yummy. Although the chicken and mushroom pie also looked good...and you can't go wrong with a Carlsburg pint!
I have posted some pictures to my photobucket account but they still need to be worked on. It takes forever to load them with the library's computer so be patient my friends!
LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!

Wow, sounds fab. I took your advice, and Lewis Hamilton is cute. But come on, he's 22, not exactly a baby............maybe I am missing something. Then again all the old NASCAR guys.......ok, makes sense. Watch out for the Carlsburg. It bites. Mom
Where is the Silverston Speedway?? I guess you got to go inside one of those trailors? Sounds so interesting, I am glad you are having a good time.
