So here's the interesting thing about being hostess to Sam this week... I am privileged to be here with her as she experiences the "first" of many fun things she is sure to encounter as she takes up residence in my beautiful town of Northbridge. In some respects I am eagerly anticipating my own "firsts" when I arrive in her town of Abergavenny, but for now, I am enjoying watching her be the star of the show as people ask her a million questions about her life, all in an effort hear her Welsh accent. I have watched her eat her first grilled burger, hot dog, clam chowdah, lobstah and steamahs. I have watched her walk into SuperWalmart and a Shaws grocery store...both of which I am assured are larger than anything I will find on my trip. I have watched her try her first Margarita and sip rootbeer. I have watched her savor many bitefuls of triple chocolate something Ben and Jerry's ice cream. I have watched her gaze in wonder at every house with a swimming pool. I have heard her many comments about the lovely landscape and green trees and large houses as we drive through town. It has all been quite interesting...and while I would gladly snap many photos of her experiencing all these new firsts, as a new mother would, I happily respect her photophobia and so I too, as all her friends back home, only have stray body parts in my photos. There is another first left... driving... I will let you know about the first drive in my car.... enough said.
