After not having slept all night in Paris, then somehow trudging our way up to Lilles, France, Vanessa and I decided it was either time to go home, or go to Chesterfield, England. We chose the latter, and have had a chance to both slightly relax and also suffer a different type of stress. We have, however, met many nice people here, and found that the British are really not rude at all. Granted we only trekked through London on our - rather pricey - way to Chesterfield, even the people we encountered there were, for the most part, friendly. We have been in Chesterfield for about 5 and 1/2 days now, and are hoping to depart tomorrow for places as of yet unkown.
The images on this page don't document the beginning of our trip, because we first had to wait for a converter to be purchased, and then for Vanessa to alter that converter until it worked... which basically means she hacked the hell out of it with a kitchen knife.
So to recap: Night 1 we arrived on the train and didn't do much.
Day 1 we went to the grocery store and made dinner for Tsai's friends.
Day 2 we went to get "chips" and hit the local pub, then again made dinner.
Day 3, 4, and some of day 5 and 6 will be visible below.

Bigger pix to come soon.
