A single week rests before I put to air and head of to the the land of opportunity. Itinerary projects are hampered by the small stumbling block of an unwelcome visitor to Monterey called Alex. The hurricane has brought 60 hours of rain to an area which considers 60 minutes to be something of a deluge. While much reconstruction work is required I am assured that all will be well before my arrival in to the area in just over a month.
I will point out as and when it arises the differences between American english and the real thing. One such occasion plays out in a normal pre-traveling context of injection taking. Apparently in America the word injection is quite comical in that context and they have taken to using the word 'Shot' instead though I am reliably informed that you cannot order one at a bar with a round of beer.
more to follow,
Chris.
