The Long and Winding Road - 8/8

First day on the job in York. I’m still tired, but at least that will pass. I thought of several work-arounds for my credit card problem. First is the ATM machine across the street at the gas station. I can pop my other credit card in there and get some pounds if I need them. The second is that my corporate card should arrive sometime this week and the hotel will charge to it even without the actual card present. Very nice of them.
Breakfast this morning was a buffet of English foods. There were fried eggs, sausages, black pudding, fruits, and beans. Who eats beans for breakfast? Apparently, the British do. Very strange.

We took a taxi to the office, and I got my first real look at Historic York. I think I saw the original town wall, and if I did that’s really cool. I can’t wait to get out and look around town at this stuff though. I’m tentatively planning to do it this weekend. My plans for seeing Stonehenge and London are kind of in jeopardy. Do I want to spend $134 on the train to get to London? Do I want to spring for a hotel room there? I can’t decide. I really want to go to London, but I don’t know how much I want to pay for it. I suppose I could always bill the company for it. They may or may not question it. They should pay for it, so maybe I’ll do it anyway.
