Welcome

Welcome to my blog. It is going to be about all my adventures in Europe(and everywhere else that I go too). There's going to be lots of pictures and descriptions in it. Right now I am in Hungerford, England. There is a lot of sightseeing to do. Everywhere there are plants and trees and all sorts of bontanical stuff all around. There are many more plants in England than in San Diego. We live in a hotel called the Three Swans Hotel. It has small rooms, so we have two! Every room comes with tea stuff. There is an electrically powered water heater, then you pour the heated water into the teapot with the teabag, and you wait for the flavor to sink in. Then you serve the tea and you add sugar and milk and all that other goofy stuff that flavors it. They must really like tea over here. I thought England was going to be exactly like America except for the way they talk, but boy was I wrong! For instance, the steering wheel on a car is on the right side instead of the left, you drive in the left lane instead of the right, and instead of stoplights they have these things called roundabouts which are too hard to explain but I'll show you a picture. Also they use different words for some things. French Fries are called chips, shoes are called trainers, and jeans are called trousers. They also use a knife and fork differently too, but I won't explain that now. Here are the pictures:
