For some reason Ed and Thomas dont get the reason that we come to the United States to shop. We are here for the bargains that can be made shopping at places like Costco & Wal Mart. They would rather be seen in Saks or Luis Vitton just browsing at Items they would never buy or could afford. We couldnt believe that the cost difference for some equivilent to Niteoll here is 50 Times cheaper. We paid $6 for 500! Now thats a bargain!!!!
The afternoon was spent browsing in Castro, enjoying a couple of cocktails in a few bars and just chilling out at home. City breaks certainly are not as relaxing as a beach holiday but with Mikey being part Chinese he cant sit on the beach for long. Actually he cant even drink a glass of wine without turning red. I feel the odd one out with Ed being Filipino, Thomas is from Hong Kong.
On the way back from the store in Thomas's 4X4, Chelsea tractor Ed asked, "Do you guys go to church? Only Jason didnt use to, he was athiest and we went to church and he was praying and hallelujahing like a Gawd Darn Mother F%^%*r! We didnt know if we should laugh or bow our heads in shame. Ed really is Craaazy but you cant help but love him.
Mikey has always made fun of the way my accent changes the minute we touch down on American soil. After 3 years of our annual pilgrimage I think its affecting him too now. Ed came back back from the store and Mikey shouted in Roseanne Bar style accent "Hiiiiiiii Ya'lll". It was so funny hearing Mikey say it. He even said, "If dont talk like that they dont understand me"
Last night we were in a bar and the light was bad. Mikey went to get what he thought was a glass of water from the counter and poured from a thermos flask a cup of cold liquid. His face turned to shock to discover it wasnt water but actually Half & Half cream and milk. It was the free coffee bar.
So somethings never change, we end up laughing a lot when we go away which can only be a good thing dont you agree?
