We rode the subway(The Tube) with the Olympic Hungarian Hand Ball Team....they were actually huge...can't really tell it from this pic....but just thought I would snap a pic and examine later!...you know that mom's family comes from Budapest, Hungary....so we are told....
HONK! HONK! BEEP! BEEP! LOOK OUT.....
Anyway......yes, I drove around our little town today....Bob was all...."Oh, shit...are you sure? Are you sure?...."....and I'm like..."please....what makes you think you can do it and I can't?".....lol....(you can hear my attitude from there can't you?) LOL well, so far so good....managed to stay "to the left...to the left"....and made it back home without incident.......tomorrow may be a different story....but today was a huge success!!!!!

Look for us at the Olympics....
Well we are back in London trying to catch the finals of the basketball games. We have 3 guys from Oklahoma Thunder playing for the U.S. and one playing for Spain. So Oklahoma is well represented. Someone from Thunder will have a gold medal.
Do u see us there in the stands ????
Lol just kidding.... Cheapest tickets were $3,000. So we took the train to London and found a pub that was showing the finals of basketball. Most pubs were showing stuff that Great Britain is still in.... Finally found one at 3:08. Games started at 3:00. But we are here now. It's halftime. Think we are up by one. Hope we don't get our asses kicked in here. See a lot of Spain's flags. Lol. We'll b careful.
Oh we did see some runners today. .... Just trying to be part of the madness!!!! Luv it!

The Roman Baths in Bath, England
The town was much bigger than I expected...but we loved it and so glad we made the trip.....definitely recommend going if you ever get a chance....
We took a tour around the Roman Baths...evidently everyone used to bath in public baths such as these...no indoor plumbing yet..maybe....The water comes from under the ground and travels something like 25miles...then up through some faults...and they created these natural hot baths....the Romans lined the baths with lead to keep the baths warm....so we couldn't get in Roman Baths.....you know....lead poisoning and all.....
So we booked our own two-hour public bath in a spa around the corner.....quite lovely....the first spa was on rooftop of the building and was pretty huge.....looked more like a pool that was heated....and we could see all the surrounding rooftops...and caught sight of a hot air balloon...very nice...then we spent some time in the saunas...there were four to choose from...and each was infused with different oils....like lemongrass, lotus, eucalyptus....and something else....had a nice time here...was so beautiful...the flowers around town were incredible...
You...know...another body of water...(this one forbidden of course)...makes me want to do it more... lol....so had to just pretend to be dipping my toe....but we did drink some of the water......just to say we did....it was clean and comes from under the ground...
Stonehenge....or bust.....
We took a trip to the other side of England and were able to take a detour to check out what the fuss was all about in a field they call "Stonehenge".....well I think they call the rocks stonehenge....but I guess you know that already....
Stonehenge has been there for something like 5000 years...unbelievable....still a mystery why they are there...and there are several theories...my favorite is that it was used as a calendar....makes sense to me.....
Thought we'd jazz it up a bit....or we are just excited to be here......that too shall remain a mystery.....
