But then, Formula One is another sport I like ... so ... <br /><br />A salwar and kameez is cheaper ;-)LaurelCKrieglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874628866547175842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19846812.post-17409181505512764742012-03-21T18:43:56.241-05:002012-03-21T18:43:56.241-05:00This was my first trip out of the US as well (sinc...This was my first trip out of the US as well (since Canada doesn't count, especially back in the days when I went, as you didn't need a passport to get back into the States). As for story fodder, I definitely got plenty of that while I was there...T. M.

There's cricket fever every year, well, around this time, throughout the Caribbean and UK, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, India, and all over cricket playing countries. It's even infiltrated into Canada...and the madness begins anew. Ack! I cannot stand the game, yet it's such an integral part of our culture that the very mention of it, breathes a scent of home. Does that make sense?TK Toppinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192845664117376346noreply@blogger.com
