Movies in the UK


For Just a quick update... We went to the movies to see Captian Phillips today with Paul's mum. I realized how similar the experience is to our movie experience, except they have......

For anyone who has not tried British chocolate, please find your nearest Publix or other store with an "ethnic food" aisle, go pick up a crunchie bar or a curly wurly, or a twirl bar, lion bar, milky buttons, etc. Your mouth will love you forever. I'm not a huge milky chocolate fan, I prefer the super dark bars, but omg if you eat slowly and savor their chocolate, it's an experience. Not waxy and so creamy.... And they get to snack on it at the movies! I didn't get the popcorn here, but, Paul says it is sweet and salty.. I think they have a good thing going here. Too bad, like our cinemas, it costs an arm and a leg to see a movie   get snacks, and the whole 9 yards. We were lucky it was "Super Tuesday" and we got 1/3 off the ticket price. And like we do back home, we smuggled snacks in purses. Oh yeah they had a Ben and Jerry's ice cream bar too. Craziness.

We are going to the Jaguars game this Sunday before we head to Chester..... If anyone knows anyone that's going, we would be happy to meet up and tailgate (yes you can tailgate here, but you have to have a ticket to get into the grounds) before the game! So lucky to have gotten to do  all this cool stuff here.. We have some great friends and family. :) it will be strange to be a traveler in a foreign land with language barriers soon... Strange but exciting..

Until next time.... Hopefully we will see a WIN for the Jags. Poor guys, it's pathetic.
