And We're Here!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys!! I cannot believe I have been in Norwich for 5 days now!!!! Crazy. We've done a little exploring, not much, and we've started to get all moved in, we got our mattresses (after a night of sleeping on the floor) and we got blankets and pillows and towels, but we still need a lot a lot a lot of stuff before we're ready to go. Who knows if we'll ever have everything we need (hangers, a vacuum, a fridge, trash cans, etc.)
So Far we have explored 2 malls (pronounced mal rhymes with Hal), and 3 different grocery stores, I've eaten fish & chips once, tried various biscuits and sweets, as well as eaten at Subway, McDonalds, and Burger King. Can't hide the fact that I'm really American? Can I?
Here are some cool things I've found so far

















So apparently Brit's don't believe in putting full sugar in their sodas, most of them are diet or have sweeteners added (which makes for some disappointing Dr. Pepper). Also Lemon-Lime Soda like Sprite or 7-Up is called lemonade, and they call vacuums Hoovers. So that's fun. also. We went and had breakfast at Cafe Britannia Saturday morning, and it was great. It's this little cafe that's run by prison inmates at the Norwich Prison, obviously run by the low risk prisoners with their guards or wardens or whatever you want to call them, but you can't tell the difference between the inmates and the guards. Everyone was so nice. It was lovely. I had American Pancakes with fruit (That's what it was called, american pancakes.) And it had the cutest decor, it was all Britannia everything, the chair, posters, pictures, even the wallpaper (Which I didn't get a picture of and feel like an idiot about). So adorable. Also I thought those Doc Martens were cool, so now you're stuck looking at pictures of them. Sorry not sorry! We also got our pillows and duvets and other various things at a place called The Range, and it was like Walmart without a grocery. They also had furniture like at RC Willey and lighting and stuff like at Home Depot. So that was fun. That's where the cool lamps were.
I'll get more pictures of the house out tomorrow, and I promise to take more pictures during our next adventures.
