Reading, England  Christmas/New Year's 1999 Road Trip We finally made it up to Reading, where my sister is studying for a year. It was a rainy day and we were glad to have our umbrellas with us. It was time for lunch, so my sister took us to her favorite fish and chips place. We had a HUGE portion of fish and chips wrapped in newspaper. It was wonderful! This is us as we enter my sister's house. She shares this with several other Reading students and this is where we ate our food. Very nice house and the other girls who were there were great! Having visited, it's now a lot easier for me to get a mental picture of what my sister is talking about when we chat on the phone or online. Yep...this is a genuine English phone, courtesy of BT (British Telecom). Be thankful that you have your own private phone here in the U.S. as this phone is a pay phone shared by the entire house. It's located right by the front door and underneath the stairs.
