Meet Lauren, a "stereotypical American" who's spending
a bit of time here in our fair county. In her diary entries she'll
bring thoughts on life here in North Yorkshire from a transatlantic
perspective.

Thinking of home
People here always smile when you tell them you're from New
York City. It's really a magical place and sometimes when you get
caught up in the routine of everyday life, you forget all that waits
for you.

Pledging allegiance
I am a red-blooded American who decks out in red, white and
blue on the 4th of July and has been known to get misty during the
National Anthem.

Irate New Yorker
Last Sunday, I transformed from sweet American girl into an
irate New Yorker. Unfortunately, my boyfriend and tourists to Ilkley
were witnesses.

London IS England
I love my friends back in the United States dearly, but
their lack of geographical knowledge is really frightening.

The Great American Supergeek
I've been here 24 hours if not more, and I'm finding I'm not starving
as badly as I thought I would (even though I brought a Starbucks
crumb cake from home in case I did).

Let's talk voltage
"I'll admit that I'm your stereotypical American-I shudder
at the thought of the small soft drinks without refills in the UK
almost as much as I cringe when I have to double every pound price
to figure it out in dollars."
