i love juice

This is my 100 post and im pleased to be posting from sunny California instead of rainy cold England. We arrived Wednesday in the evening after travelling for around 18 hours, we stopped off in Philadelphia where we had our first experience of the US. Standing in a queue for immigration you get the real sense that America really do give a shit who comes into their country as we were scanned and questioned in their own time, a process that was not rushed in any way and although we stood their for half an hour as we waited we didn't feel annoyed but rather disappointed that this kind of care and attention is not taken in our own country as our own gates are held open to all kinds.

The picture above is the fog that was hitting the Bay area from the coast like a huge wave, to see it is a sight in itself as it looks like it floods over San Francisco covering the skyline and the tops of sky scrappers and The Golden Gate Bridge. The cool chill from the coast soon changed when we got over the hills to Family OTW, where for the first time in 18 hours we sat and nothing around us was moving. Steaks were waiting on the table and root beer in the fridge as our bodies told us it was 4 in the morning it was weird scoffing down a medium rare steak (America has good steak, im impressed well done Thud). I like America already.

Yesterday we had morning coffee in the town we had driven through last night, lit up with loads of restaurants and shops it looked like something out of the movies but then everything i see at the minute looks like the movies something you get when you grow up watching American made Films and TV shows everything seems like your looking at it on screen. We sat in Starbucks and the town seemed quite as you realise that its a working week and that people are at work, why should there be people out and about? something very different compare to back home. The town is so clean and tidy, a sense of pride in where people live and this continues into the suburbs, the heat starts to creep as the cool morning disappears and we hit Denny's Dinner for breakfast/lunch, Brunch. America needs decent bacon and sausage that is the only negative but something i will get use too, eating in a Dinner where people and staff around us a so polite and actually talk to each other without an ulterior motive was very pleasant.

We spent the remainder of the day near the pool as the sun was out, yes the sun!! something that we don't get anymore at this time of year in England. The atmosphere and life seems very relaxed and even though its been a couple of days it feels just very different from a normal day at home. Im not going to sit and write ignorance to the fact that there are areas here that we would not go and are just as worse as places back home its just that as Thud said earlier its brighter, its light and with that it seems to make people happier and peaceful and i like that. So we have loads more to do this week and meeting Vinogirl yesterday we will be visiting Napa at the weekend to sample some of the local produce and to check out a possible new palace for princess OTW and family.

Well iv rambled on enough for now and ill be damned if im sitting in for to long when the weather is so god damn fantastic. Happy 100th Post "I Love Juice", and thank you to all of you guys reading and visiting my rambles keep it up and ill try to do my part.
