Made it in one piece


We've arrived in Oklahoma!


It's now 9:05 in the morning, yesterday has taken it's toll. We got here about 3pm local time yesterday which was really 9pm UK time and after unpacking went for a few beers.


I highly recommend the Sports Bar in Oklahoma if you ever get the chance on Merideon Street. Unsure of the beer sizes, James was offered the choice of a small or large Guinness, thinking it would be a half pint, he said yes, and was rewarded with a two pint jug of guinness. Check out the picture


Suitably refreshed, we attended the orientation meeting at 7pm to meet Roger and the rest of the crew. There are over 20 people on the tour split between 4 vans which we'll keep rotating so everybody sits in each van and get's to know everyone. We then went out for a chinese buffet, had a few more drinks at the sports bar, then fell into bed, very very tired.


I'm just about to pack up, then go for breakfast. As the weather outlook isn't that good (bad) for the next few days we're using today to travel up towards Nebraska for some bad weather that should be up there.


Expect some pictures of actual places in the next post. Oh, and apparantly saying 'Cheers' is really cute in America, or so the bar girls in the sports bar kept saying.


Well 'cute' is better than nothing! :o)
