Seeing as I was greedy and gobbled up two 10ths of September, I had no 26th September. Instead I shall use this day to highlight impressions and memories of America.
- They have gross coffee. It's so strong and disgusting. On the last day I found a real one. There was a lot of rejoicing.
- Toilets have big water and a weird shape.
- Waiting for our shuttle at Sea World, Dan would ask Mum where she's from as groups of people walked past, to which she would reply, "I'm from Rrrruuussshhhhaaaaah," in the thickest accent possible.
- Pillowfights in hotel rooms.
- In Vegas there are people on every street corner handing out cards advertising 'hot chicks'. On guy offered Mum one and when she declined he replied, "20 minutes ma'am." She burst into giggles exclaiming, "What would I want a hot chick for?"
- Spending way too much money. Most of it on candy.
- The food tasted like Denny's constantly. It was yuck.
- Mum's terrifying driving. Freeways that go forever.
- Finding out I'm not actually 5'7" as I always though, but a measly 5'5" as I stood by the tallest man ever in Ripley's.
- 40 degrees in Vegas. Soooo nice.
- Never getting the hang of tipping. We made every effort not to. We hardly sat down and ate anywhere.
- Being relatively skinny.
- So much fog in San Fransisco. Actually so much. It was like a mist.
- In N Out Burger. So delicious and so cheap.
- Mum eating clam chowder in a sourdough bowl at every opportunity.
- "Shamu, Shamu!" Chanting to get splashed by him at Sea World.
- Spending time with Dan after too long being apart.
- Conning Mum into going on terrifying rides at California Adventure Park. SO MUCH FUN.
There are way more but I can't think of them all right now.
Haha! Shamu! My sister told me of the Shamu experience.
ReplyDeleteOh and I meant to tell you that I heard the Grand Canyon is one of the few things in life that actually lives up to expectations (according to David Letterman)
