Brad suggested the topic for today's blog entry - the food!
I know I've mentioned that groceries seem a bit pricey over here, but I also have to say that the quality and selections are very good. The produce so far has been really great - strawberries, grapes, clementines - everything has great flavor (couldn't always say that about the stuff we bought at Giant...) We've been buying a lot of fresh, heat-and-eat type stuff for meals - pastas with yummy fillings, good sauces, pizzas (pepperoni is called "American" style). The kids have found Thomas yogurts (I wonder if they taste better than Dora and Diego yogurts?) and some fun cereals. I'm always eyeing up the dessert selections but haven't tried many (yet) - I guess I have some time to work on that!
We haven't eaten out at all really, except for a few quick sandwiches, and of course, ice creams. I suppose that is partly because we're not quite sure where to go (we haven't found the equivalent of Oregon Dairy yet!). There is a nice-looking pub with a big play area just across the river from where we are staying now - that is in the plans for the weekend.

Hi Ann,
Did you want a Crane game?
Brad Anne Susanna Coccanna and Ben
Hello and Wow this bog is a great idea. My first time though so I hope you get this message. London sounds great and your right on the Thames river . I 'll be sure to explain the London Eye better this week. We watched caterpillars crawl and begin to form their chyrsalis this week. We also made mosaics of boats as we continued our study of transportation. Susanna I hope that you will get to go back to Buckingham Palace and try to make the guards laugh. The star class misses you and we send hugs and warm wishes. Adam finally wrecked the bike for the last time .It broke. The girls pretend to make you castles and pack and travel to London. We drew boats this week. See if you can draw one. Write to us soon.
Mrs. Carter
