our matching royal blue jackets, an Australian woman and British man chatted us up. The Australian woman had just spent her Thanksgiving in California and then her Christmas here in the UK (clearly, she is quite well-traveled). We talked about all sorts of world news, including world news itself. Clearly the BBC puts the rest of the world to shame as far as keeping its constituents informed. Our new Australian friend stated that Australia was quite similar to the US in so much as the Australian news services report little news beyond the Australian border. The British man stated that his fellow Brits are quite possibly overinformed as a culture. I found this to be an intriguing insight, since our culture can be pegged as quite the opposite. Just something to think about, I guess.
'til next time...
Aaron!

Glad to hear that your trip is going well so far. Nice blue jackets, by the way. Will be anxious to read future postings and learn more of your new friendships and adventures. It's sunny with somewhat mild temps and a crisp wind on Monday.

Aaron,
Glad to hear you are already enjoying your time abroad. Your nephew misses you. He slept 12 hours last night, upon returning to Cincinnati. He's enjoying all of his Christmas goodies, he doesn't know what toy to play with! We are now following the blog! Take care

John,
Looks like you had a lot of fun in London. I am sure you were excited to hear from someone who lives in Australia. Your dad did a great job and got the first layer of primer on in the nursery. Reggie is really starting to miss you. Can't wait to hear from you when you reach India!

Nick, since you've now been to London, I expect you to start helping me with my fake British accent when you get back.
