One year ago today: Sept 18, 2005 (Playing Mary Poppins)

[Note: original post from trip is posted here.]

We started our second day in the UK with a healthy helping of, well, Marmite. One of my goals for the trip was to experience as many local foods as possible, and Marmite certainly fit the bill. I figured that it was like the "English peanut butter" or something, so I slathered it all over my toast and took a big bite. I heartily recommend it to anyone who hasn't experienced the virtues of yeast extract; just be sure to have a camera on hand to capture the yumminess (hehe).

After breakfast, we spent the morning playing in the park with Helen's kids. Very fun, kind of like being in Mary Poppins, what with the British park and such. Later on in the afternoon, we head to the airport to catch our overnight flight to Entebbe, Uganda.


A nice group photo with Helen, Rob, and kids.
