A Taste of Home ~

We have found that we can get pretty much all of the same things here that we like from home with a few exceptions ~ rootbeer being one of them. It is impossible to find in the stores.

When we were in London a couple of years ago we did find a store that carried it {YEAH}, so last weekend we made the effort to return to see if they still carried rootbeer.

The result...... ~ they had it in stock for 75 pence per can {$1.50 ouch} but it was worth it. We left the store, 8 cans later, a very happy family. Who would have thought this little shop in Chinatown would carry A & W rootbeer!!

When we visited friends in France a few years ago - we brought a care package. Some of the main items were peanut butter, Rice-a-Roni and Tide. Funny the things you miss!
