Well, I'm in London at the moment after a week in Wales. We'll be getting a oyster card and riding the bus today. Last night we were in a Banana Tree Indochina restaurant. The sate chicken was pretty good because they didn't use peanut butter like we do in the states. They used boiled peanuts which doesn't taste like Skippy. This little detail is important. Thanks for letting us in your country. Hopefully, you guys will let us out again. :-)
