A day of rest

Fresh from a good night's sleep (and I slept right through to 7 - which is 2pm UK time) I woke up excited about one of America's greatest inventions: Breakfast. Or at least their take on it.

And by that I mean waffles. Oh yes. Waffles in America are the food of the gods. I could eat them every morning and every night and never get bored. So I had one, covered in maple syrup. And then for good measure I had three sausages, scrambled egg and chips. Mmmm.

After this we set about doing a bit of shopping. I bought cargo pants, some new trainers, and a baseball cap.


Shortly after I got my American phone working, thanks to a charming AT&T sales assistant named, I kid you not, Cartier. Not Carter. Cartier. He was a 18 stone man.

We then headed south, past Mt Rushmore (i'd put in a pic, but I figure the ones we'll get over the next few days will be somewhat more impressive) and are now in the tourist trap, ahem I mean town of Custer. Custer, oddly, is full of Ukrainians. In fact, 3 out of 3 waiters we've had so far have been Ukrainian.

The evening was rounded off with a bout of mini-golf and a Steak. Fun time. The real work begins tomorrow...
