Last Saturday we made a day trip to the "big city" of Northeast England: Newcastle upon Tyne. Most people just call it Newcastle. It's about 40 minutes away via the Metro (or subway). It's about the same size in population as Colorado Springs (my hometown), but it was founded back in the 2nd century so it's a quite bit older. There's a huge shopping center that we wandered around, and we ended up eating dinner at TGI Friday's. That was a funny experience because the British TGI Friday's felt like that familiar American restaurant, but from another slightly altered dimension. The desserts were amazing, though. I really love seeing other parts of England and will be exploring more soon.
