First foods?

Well, we've arrived here in Grantham, England, and at Harlaxton Manor.

It's a nice place. The interior is gorgeous, and has everything one would expect from a manor house. There's beautiful artwork, lovely architecture, secret passageways (we've found three so far), wood paneling, fireplaces big enough to roast a pig, and many other interesting points.

 My first meal in England? Ha. An energy drink and some Skittles as we left the airport. The refectory (ie., "cafeteria") had an evening meal—I had a salad. So, it's an inauspicious start in the foodie sense.

Tonight a few of us are on for a wine and cheese gathering, so that should be a bit more interesting.

But, all is well. We're busy with orientation and getting settled in.
