No iced tea

Another long day at the office.... but we did manage to find time at lunch time for a walk around the perimeter fence of the site. Apparently there was a path going into the hills - which, by the time we found it, didn't have time to take - maybe another time. The weather was sunny and warmish (unlike yesterday when we had to clear the ice off the windscreen in the morning) and the grass around the site was being cut, giving a freshly-cut grass smell.

During our stay, the Americans often seem to have had a problem understanding us - either because of the English accent, or because of the phrases we use. In the evening we went to the "Fish Market" - a restaurant which sold all sorts of fish:

Kevin: "Could I have a lemonade please?"
Waiter: "OK, one lemonade"
Graham: "And the same for me please."
Waiter: "OK, one iced tea"
Graham: "No, sorry, I said 'I'd like a lemonade too please'"
Waiter: "You want a lemonade AND an iced tea???"
Graham: "No iced tea, just a lemonade"
Waiter: "So you don't want an iced tea at all?"
....

After some time the correct order was plaiced (well salmoned and tuna'd)... and for once it was an ok size.
