The "road trip"
It was a gorgeous day. It was the perfect day for an outing, and since I didn’t say much about it in the last post, due to my musings – I should do the day some justice with photos and
description.
The day actually began with a guys shopping trip to M&S in search for a coat for Chris. We found a very smart overcoat that screamed "I'm no intern. I have power!" Which of course wasn't true - but when your business cards say "intern" on them (as Chris' sadly did) you need all the street credibility you can get. Successful with coat in hand, we blew some time in a department store with a 249 pound scarf… I bought two.
We met the ladies (Sarah, Naomi and Clare -LtoR) and headed out of London going West – Only west because Clare, our chauffer only knows how to get out of London going west, and the closest town (of interest) to the west is Windsor… So we headed to Windsor. After a short hour tour of Windsor parking lots, Eton and surrounding area to the music of “English Christian Camp songs” led by Christopher Tapp we found a scenic parking spot in the King George the CDXLVIIIth parking garage… that’s 448th to the less well versed in the science of Roman numerology.
The town was really lovely and by that time we were jonesing for a big pub lunch – which we had right across from the humble second home to her majesty – Windsor Castle.
The food, as you can see was the quintessential pub meal... pies, potatoes and pints galore – and was exactly what I needed. I’m willing to debunk all the speculation in my last post about meager portions in order to say that I left feeling very full – but I think it may have been the Guinness
.
We closed out the epic day with a long walk down the Long Walk. It was pretty long… but I would have to say it was remarkably walkable.

Jonesing it? What planet is the USA on again??? ;-)
Interns with business cards? It's madness I tell you. Madness.
My scarf costs nearly £249 - give or take £239. ;-)
Glad you enjoyed the Long Walk down the Long Walk - trades descriptions act (which you will be researching soon!) is a VERY important law in the UK. ;-)
Glad you are enjoying the Guinness - we will take Dr. Dave out again for another pint or two, worry not!
And if your intern buddies need a tour of Parliament just let me know. :-)
Don't bring your camp English Christians songs into work btw, people will talk. ;-)
Hey Travis- I'm glad things are going well. Christmas in the UK is fun, are you staying? I linked to your blog, just wanted to let you know.

Jessie - good to see your face, or the half of it not covered by a cat. I'm rocking it out here till next summer. Great to hear from you.
Click the link there to JT's blog profile - the other half of her face is covered by a dog!
