Well, we are here. In Prague for the weekend via Easy Jet on a flight that resembled a frat party more than it did anything else. I’m not quite sure if it was a stag party making its way here, or what, but either way, it was quite a noisy flight with gambling even!
We just walked around the city a bit for our first day and took it in, since we didn’t get started until 5:30pm or so, but don’t worry, we were still able to find something eventful to …

One of the reasons Michael and I moved to London is to enjoy the cooler weather. Now granted, it IS in fact, cooler than Phoenix, but it is 10:30am right now, and I am hot already!!! I thought London was supposed to be cool and rainy, yet it is 80 degrees, sunny, and humid!!!
I keep seeing dogs around London, and it makes me miss my girls a lot. It is funny how you know in advance that being away from something you love will be hard, but when you actually …

Living far away from everyone would have been much harder 20 years ago before email and instant messenger, but iChat (or video conferencing) has made it so tht I can watch my nieces and nephews grow up in Minnesota and make fun of Ryan’s purple t-shirt and hoodie combo in Phoenix within minutes.
It will never replace actually being there, but it is nice to be able to see live video of everyone. Now if we can just teach Jen that when you have headphones in that you talk a lot …

Last night Michael got to meet a few work people. We met Hannah, mark, and Jack for dinner at Pizza Express. It was okay, but the pizza is just not the same. They don’t cut it into triangles or squares, so you just get a pig pizza plopped down in front of you, which you have to cut with a knife and fork, and for some reason it is really hard!
After dinner, we dropped Jack and picked up Howard (my boss) for a comedy club. We had to lose Jack …

In all of it’s glorious goodness, we have high speed broadband now. …and exhale. Seriously, it is pretty much like Internet Claus came to the house and we were good boys and girls. Well, I’m going to go freebase some pure 18+megabit Virgin Broadband.
Speaking of jonesing, man, I could go for some Pei Wei.
Also, thanks Amy (in photo) for making me feel better about myself.

As vegetarians, one thing we can claim for London is the wealth of vegetarian options available everywhere. Both restaurants and grocery stores have gone out of their way to label every product with a “V” or “Suitable for Vegetarians” whenever it is necessary. Meaning, the green beans aren’t labeled, but anything that has combos of ingredients usually is. Even cheese is labeled so you know whether or not the rennet is animal or vegetable based. That is not only really nice, but it makes being vegetarian that much easier. The …

This past weekend Jen and I decided to do some touristy stuff. It seemed like a good idea to get out and get acquainted with the city we now call home and see what all the buzz was about. We started big. We decided not to go to the obscure stuff that may be of personal interest, we went to the icons. Big Ben, Westminster Abby, 10 Downing St. and the London Eye. We saw them all. As someone who has been a tourist abroad before, I can say that …

Not only do they have Whole Foods over here(food), but the even have American Apparel as well(clothing). Sheleter shouldn’t be a problem either… Ryan (my brother if you don’t know) you are all cleared for take off!
I know how much you like your purple shirt from there, so I was looking at the mannequins to get some Christmas ideas… As you can see, purple is big here too, you just aren’t accessorizing it right over there. White shorts and fanny pack for the win!!!
