It was a good trip from Miami to Manchester and Tim was kind enough to come pick us up at the airport. We are actually located in Altrincham which from my best understanding is a small town on the outskirts of Manchester.
Liezel and Tim have a lovely flat in a very old house and it is very close to shopping and trains, trams and buses so getting into Manchester will be quite easy. It only took us about 30 minutes to go from the flat to the Old Trafford Station (where Manchester United play).
I am afraid that you probably won't be seeing lots of exciting postings for the next 3 weeks as we are very much in the mind set to just relax for a bit.
The excitement of today was that I got my hair cut (ooooooooohhhhhhhhh, thrilling isn't it!). It was getting a little scraggy after 5 months but that is still not very exhilerating. Oh, we also went to see the movie "Hugo" which was cute but slow.
We went to "A Taste of Trafford" at the market in Altrincham on Sunday. It was quaint and we bought a nutloaf for dinner but that was about it.
Saturday saw us at the Manchester United vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers game. It was a good time and we got a work out walking up to the nosebleed section (only 8 rows from the top of the stadium). It was just us and 75,645 other fans! See below for Michel's take on his first professional football game:
By the way, we did indeed manage to get tickets for the December 26 game. It will be a nice way to spend Boxing Day instead of sitting around missing all of you. I am starting to get a little homesick for my friends and family so if you want to email me, I would love you even more!!!
