The Adventure Begins

Well now it is really time to get things started but let's take a quick recap of the arrival.  My plane was not great but did the job of getting me here.  It was much smoother than the ride I had into Denver a few weeks ago yet the guy in front of me didn't handle it well and puked all over!  Thank goodness it was when the plane landed and we were able to get off.  

 I was so excited to be greeted by Henry's dad and to have a great breakfast and tour as we drove to Hull.  I am learning already!  

I got to my new home and it is great.  The house is very spacious and close to lots of things to do.  The best part is that I have my very own Fulbright alumni tour guide!  Sarah has been extremely nice and makes sure that I am not having any panic attacks.  We took a walk and looked at what is around, got a sim card for my phone and had my first Strongbow of the trip.  Ahhhh it takes me back.  I had to start with some delicious fish and chips to make sure I was in the right spot.  Yep, I am.  

The next day we went into town to get a much needed curling iron and check out the shopping.  With the exception of the very quirky man in the piercing shop I am doing a good job of understanding everyone!  I have been told that the people of Hull have a very strong accent.  Let's hope I will catch on.  We followed this up with a nice dinner with some of Sarah's family and a delicious dessert of Bailey's cheesecake. What a great start!  

Next up Scotland and the Lake District...
