Pizza and Beer

Hollybush Pub

Today Lee took Ron and myself to the Hollybush which is a very nice Pub located out in the countryside.  I had my first "Ploughman's" lunch, though I got a non traditional one with Brie instead of the traditional cheddar.  We ate outside and Ruben "accidentally" drank my lemonade along with his own drink.

I had no plans for the evening.  Ron was in town from Hillsboro but he was heading to dinner with a former employee.  Then Peter invited me over for some Pizza and Beer at his house.  They were hosting Ruben and Olga as well.  I decided not to walk to the Train Station, take the train, then walk to Peter's house but instead took a taxi.  It turned out to be not that bad for the 6-7 mile trip to Harpenden, costing only 12 pounds.

Imma, Ruben, and Olga engaged in some conversation in Spanish, and while I don't speak it very well, I understood enough to get the gist.  Turns out Ruben has some Basque blood in him.  Maria, Anna and Vincente gave me my first introduction to Little Big Planet 2.  I have read about the game, with most reviewers saying it is a good reason to buy a PS3.  I would have to agree even though I was quite bad at it.  Anna was the only one that would wait for me so I died quite often.  I didn't die first though!

We had dinner from Pizza Express which turned out to be quite good.  I found out later that Vincente ate my meat pizza with the stuffed crust. (Noticing a Rosales Trend here?)  Then it was a taxi back to the hotel and off to bed as tomorrow I am taking the day off and going into London with the Rosales family.
