Finding the time to write or post anything on here has been rough. I rarely have anytime to do more on the Internet than check my email and write people back, but with that being said, here is what has been going on. Last weekend we went to the city of Bath which was amazing. I have never been to Europe, but Bath had a much more European feel than any other city I have been to here in the UK. Every building in the entire city is made from limestone creating an incredible consistency that lends itself well to some incredible views. While in Batch we went through the ancient Roman baths (hence the city name) which was cool, but I was not in the mood really to understand fully about them. After the baths, we went to the Sam Weller pub. It had my last name so of course it was awesome. Excellent food, excellent drinks, I would highly recommend.
3rd weekend update.

The following week of work was pretty good, not crazy at all, and I haven't really worked any insane hours yet but the big push has yet to hit us. The biggest and best thing about the work week has been the weather. It has been absolutely beautiful here, everyday. Nice crisp mornings, sunny afternoons, and never getting hot enough to get down to a t-shirt. This weekend we had to work on saturday, but not a full day. Last night we went to the Old Ale House to watch the England v South Africa rugby match. It was the world cup final and every place was packed, standing room only. I have never really experienced national pride like last night. Every single Brit was on their feet singing the national anthem at the top of lungs, glasses held high, faces painted - I felt like I was in a movie. I have never been around people who care more if their country wins or loses, in America there is so much indifference towards national teams, and after last night I see what the exact opposite is. England lost the match, but it was still an awesome time.
Today we got up and relaxed, I did laundry and read some, and then went golfing on a nine hole course. Once again it was some of the best weather I have seen and the course was breathtaking as it overlooked the city of Salisbury and the tallest spire in England. I played alright but our boss Stuart pretty much wiped the floor with us. Now we are back at his house and, just finished eating some great roast beef and apple pie with custard. Yum. I really have been bummed to not have any photos posted yet. I have been shooting here a lot but the computer I am using does not run photoshop well enough to edit my pictures. Expect loads up as soon as I get them edited. Cheers.
