England part 2




I know it's been a couple of weeks since my last post but, I have been settling in here in Banbury England. Very nice town and everything is within walking distance except Tesco which is about a mile away (that's kinda like a WalMart). I work in 2 places. One is about an hours drive and goes down little lanes and streets, although they are pretty standard as far as roads go. My Dodge wouldn't be skinny enough. I am posting some pictures here of some very English stuff. but also I am posting a picture of me at the Black Pearl which was in Oahu for some prep work as they start to make the fourth chapter in the Pirates of the Caribbean. In these pic you can see the kind of roads I deal with, Stonehenge (not pictured is the stone circles at Avebury - very cool), The Salibury Cathedral (not one steak place could I find), and the Royal Jordanian Falcon Fight team performing at the RIAT Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford this past weekend. At least 14 different countries displayed their air prowess including the USA and the F-22 Raptor, the 50 year old British Vulcan, a B-52, the Bristish Red Arrows and an amazing French Team (they apparently have a cup holder for a wine glass and if they can fly without spilling they make the team and avoid the firing squad for alcohol abuse (think about it a minute - it will sink in). I also took a video of Blake's airplane...not his actual one but a British Harrier, but my son knows how to fix them. Next weekend I plan to go to Stratford upon Avon and maybe take in a play at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
