Alnwick Castle

Busy busy busy! Last weekend I visited Alnwick Castle with a few friends from Newcastle. The castle was really fantastic! It was the castle used in Harry Potter and Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and on top of that, people actually live here!! Can you imagine living in a castle! This last weekend a friend and I traveled to Blackpool to see the city illuminations. At night in Blackpool the entire town is covered in lights...it is really great. While we were there we went to a Haunted House, the Wax Museum, and we rode the Ferris Wheel! It was a lot of fun! Everything else has been going great as well. Classes are in full swing and I have been attending Rotary meetings every week and it is great! Last week our club heard from a representative from sightsavers international. It is a great organization that district 1030 helps support. I hope everything with you all is going great and I will be in touch soon!!!!

RIBI Link Weekend

Hi! This is a picture from the RIBI LINK weekend in Cardiff, Wales. It was a wonderful weekend and I was able to meet and get to know scholars from all over the world who are studying in the UK. The people in this picture are (from left to right) Betty (Greece) me, the Rotary District Governor of Wales, Kistiah Ramaya, Robert (Australia) Phaka (South Africa) and Luana (Brazil). Luana and I actually were roomates for the weekend and we stayed at the Thomas house...a wonderful family who hosted us for the weekend. We drank tea and I had traditional Brittish porridge! Luana also made us some traditional breakfast coffee (cafe con leche) It was a fabulous weekend! I wish you all could have been there with me! I hope you are all doing well!
