Shopping in Aberdeen, Scotland


Well today has been our first full day abroad. While Doug worked I took a taxi downtown to the shopping area, Union Square to be exact. I would have walked but that would have constituted crossing two "round-a-bouts" and I am not willing to get run over. (They drive on the wrong side of the road here you know, and very fast.) Anyhoo, had a great time.

For lunch I ate pizza, yea pizza. Vegetarian to be exact...AND much to my surprise, there was corn, I repeat, CORN on my pizza. I guess that's what you get when you get pizza in Scotland. And you will never guess where we ate this evening.......Jimmy Chung's. Yes there is Chinese food here too. I did, however, have excellent halibut last night. It was quite tasty.

We are five hours ahead of Oklahoma time and this Sunday the UK is springing forward an hour. Not only did I lose an hour of precious sleeping time at home, I am going to lose ANOTHER hour here. What do you suppose I can do with that???? As if losing one hour was not enough.

Well, it is almost time for me to turn in.

Love you guys!
