It's been so nice to be here in England. The people here are wonderful; they are so hospitable! It's always scary to stay in people's houses that you don't know. You never know if they're going to be clean or if they're going to be strange or what they're going to be, but everyone here has been simply magnanimous in their hospitality. Everyone is kind and gracious. It's been a great way to travel. We have stayed in some hotels but mostly we will be staying with Rotarians. I think it's a better way to learn about the culture--living with people who live here every day. They stay up late with us every night after concerts, plying us with tea and beer and juice, laughing when all Jess wants is a big tall glass of water.
Jess's favorite accent is the Liverpool one, but Andrew thinks he prefers the London accent--it's a little more modern sounding and slightly easier to understand when people are talking really fast.
Of course, one of our favorite parts of being around here has been the English gardens. Andrew has taken lots of pictures and we've both enjoyed it very much.
