Anyway, even if you don't its ok because we are here!! We arrived yesterday and have had a good full day here before travelling on tomorrow to Alberquerque. I got to watch Newcastle v Chelsea this morning, and then went and did a bit of shopping. This was followed by a trip to the museum for all of us (inside the Palace of Governors which has stood here since 1600's) it was very good. Then we had an authentic Mexican meal (I had the most wonderful Fajitas) and have now come back to the hotel.... We have not decided what we are doing this evening, either going out to hear a band play or watching some boxing and a movie here, ah decisions, decisions...
There are 2 quick observations I wish to mention on this blog:
1) Cherry Pepsi - DO NOT LET THIS FOUL STUFF INTO THE UK - I had a fair amount of this stuff with my KFC last night, and ended up lying in bed most of the evening and night feeling very unwell and with a painful stomach. It was definitely the Cherry Pepsi that was the problem as we all had the chicken and no one else was unwell. Also, to be honest it tasted pretty bad.
2) Restrooms - now these sound great, but are actually WC's, Toilets, Loos etc. In general the cleanliness and facilities in general 'restrooms' are far superior to those in the UK. There is never graffiti, all the 'places that you rest' (ahem), are clean and they provide disposable seat covers, the soap dispensers all work as do all the hand drying methods provided. However a few negatives are that the 'seats of rest' (ahem again) are a lot lower than I am used to and (here's the kicker), the Americans seem to like to be able to watch you....um.....resting (one final ahem here)!!!! There are extraordinary large gaps at the base and top of 'resting' cubicles, as well as incredibly large gaps along the edge's of the doors into said cubicles. This means that anyone standing outside can see quite comfortably inside and vice versa!! So, pros and cons to USA 'Johns'.
Just a couple of observations. Thanks for keeping track with our adventure, we are having a good time. (and sorry Rachel if this is too long a blog for you - lol)!!!

Has it ever occurred to you that chicken and Cherry Pepsi just dont mix well together. Only you can get to watch an English football game in America. Name one good point about our 'Johns' over here, their cold, filthy, smelly and has all the appeal of, well you. Only joking! this is...no I'll let you try and figure it out. see you soon.
Thank you, (I think?) for your very enlightening facts about American 'restrooms'. I'm glad you are paying close attention to detail
Anyway, I'm glad you are all continuing to enjoy yourselves, even if it is the unusual things (i.e toilets) that seem to be attracting your attention!!!!
No your blog was fine in length, i was only kidding beforehand! you only mentioned the name of Santa fe, which is good, so i have decided to contribute. Glad your all well, sorry to hear about the fact you had a bad stomache though. Cherry pepsi( Bleh!) that's what i say to that. Anyway i'm preaching soon, so pray for me and i have to go. R
