    I am honored again for your mention. I am sure that your family is excited to have you back. I remember that you have a plan to go on vacation with them next week. Have a safe trip back home.

      Thanks Shilpan! I am very much looking forward to getting home and heading with my family to Mexico in two weeks! It’s been a long time away from them.

    Haha! No way… I’d be afraid to get my car washed by them just for fear of what their actual service was. :p Looks like you had a pretty good time. Thanks for all the reading!

      I couldn’t believe it! I wish I had caught a pic of their other sign “the Ultimate in Hand jobs”.

    Wow, beautiful photos! I love the “thieves about” sign – it made me laugh.

      I laughed pretty hard at that one too. They had a bunch of “silly” signs all over. Different, but funny!

    I just wonder how they determined they had the best hand jobs in town. That must have taken a lot of competitor analysis and sampling. If it’s true, 5 pounds sounds like a good deal lol.

      5 pounds = $7.50? Sounds like a bargain to me!

    The pictures are beautiful! It makes me wanna visit (but when the dollar is worth more). The one about the “best hand job in town” made me laugh. That’s too funny. I hope you have a safe trip home!

      Thanks and welcome to the site. That was Kenilworth castle. We actually got to walk up in it and go through it. It was really cool. Kind of like you were in Game of Thrones; only for real.

      Thanks! Even the business part was good. It’s a nice experience to see how the other part of the world does what you do. But our free time was also pretty great.
