| Alan d'Authreau's camera, now on display in the National Air and Space Museum following it's last shot of the proposal of Becky and Alan. All that's missing is the blanket used in the process of the photography early indications show that this wasn't donated as Becky had "a bit of a chill". Alan has now updated his camera to a vintage polaroid land camera, good choice!!!!!! |

We both decided to go to McDonalds for dinner as it was close to the museums. Some Americans have difficulty with both our accents and Matt has significant difficulty in understanding the local lingo so the ordering went pretty much like this:
American Waitress: What can I get for you?
Matt: I'll have a Chicken McNugget meal please?
America Waitress: That's 8 dollars please
Matt: I'm fine thank you and how are you today?
American Waitress: No I said that's 8 dollars
Dave: [laughs]
American Waitress: And what can I get for you?
Dave: I'll have a quarter pounder meal
American Waitress: So you want the McNuggets as well?
Dave: No I want the quarter pounder meal.
Matt: [Laughs]
