Back in the USA

Nice to be back in the USA! We forgot some toiletries and thought we'd hit the local Giant store. All the Listerine mouthwash bottles came in 2.5 liter bottles or however big they were, and they were a fraction of what we pay for them in Australia. Also interesting to note that the shaving gel, in the regular and the travel size are both the same price; $2.63. I then noticed most travel versions are the same price as the regular sized ones. I still bought a travel size one. The shop assistant tells me ever since the new airline security measures wrt liquids this has been the case.
Energy bars are half the price too, not that I need them with my full on party diet here! K and I try to run/walk daily. Something else I found in the shop is a KEFIR drink!! The only kefir they had was in a strawberry drink of sorts, but hey, DILAIIGAF!

I also notice the huge trucks on the road, at RMA for Hastings graduation I saw a Hummer parked there looking like the more modestly sized vehicle amongst the Fords and Chevies there.



The Amex is accepted almost anywhere and often without as much as a signature. After my experience in Europe this is almost a highlight of the trip!

Well, the highlight is Hastings graduation at RMA. Here is a panorama of the graduation from my N95 phone-camera.
