Castle

Today we went took the train to Windsor and toured the (Windsor) castle. Have you ever heard the phrase or a variation of the phrase  ”money making money”? To me Windsor castle is an example of money costing money. By this I mean all of the luxuries, art, and treasures seem to cost a fortune to own and maintain. That of course if fueled by historical preservation (which has merit) and the pageantry of royalty (not to keen on). That aside, the priceless treasures are amazing in their historical value. The arms, art, housewares, furniture, clothing, architecture and many more things. It have been an amazing opportunity to come see this living part of history. Picture were not allowed inside the castle unfortunately.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen

After the castle, in search of delicious food, we stumbled into a more unlikely joint called the Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK). What makes this place unlikely is while on traveling we tent to avoid places the serve food from home. So a burger joint was not the top of my list. As many of you know I do not consider a good burger a crowning achievement for an American restraunt. A good burger is like having clean bath rooms, it is baseline expectations. Similarly I do not travel abroad to have a burger, we do burgers the best in the U.S.

What we found at GBK was a delicious burger based on naturally fed beef. Coupled with some fries (chips) and a Chocolate Milk shake, and you had a smashing lunch.

Also, while at GBK, Amy and I realized the British Sterling Pound monetary system has too many coins. Amy could not figure out how some of them worked and I just took a picture.

Less Eventful Rest of the Day

Ater lunch we did a little bit of shopping in the touristy mall area next to the train station. After an some uneventful shopping we headed back to the hotel for some relaxing before dinner. After having enjoyed Nando’s in Maryland and seeing a location on our way to the hotel when we arrived, we decided we would have to eat during our visit here. So we hit Nando’s for some spicy Peri-Peri chicken. We topped off the meal with spicy chicken with some sweet and smooth Carmel Cheesecake.
