Our final presentation!
Obviously we’ve had a busy week, I can’t believe no one has posted since Sunday! To all of our avid Blog followers, sorry we’ve been so slack!
Tuesday night we gave our final presentation. Since it was Halloween we decided to spice things up a bit and we each presented someone else’s portion of the presentation. I actually think it was our best presentation. If nothing else, it was very entertaining for our team. It gave each of us the opportunity to talk about our team mates right in front of them and add a few extra tidbits to their presentation that they wouldn’t normally say. (Somewhat dangerous!) Hopefully you ‘ll enjoy the pictures of our final presentation (down below.)
It’s hard to believe that we only have 3 full days left here! This morning we’re meeting with the Lord Mayor of Cardiff at a private reception held for us. Then we’re off to our last Rotary luncheon, followed by a visit to Atlantic College. Tonight the team will have a final night of team bonding as we go out to dinner and test the nightlife of Cardiff.
Tomorrow morning we’ll do our last minute shopping and gift buying. In the afternoon we’re taking a special tour of the local brewery that serves Brains beer throughout Wales. Yes, the name of the beer is Brains. It took us a while to get used to saying, ‘Yes, I’d like a Brains please.’ We also will attend a farewell event near Swansea where we’ll meet up with all the friends we’ve made over the last 5 weeks. There probably will be a tear or two shed as we bid farewell to the incredible friends and hosts we’ve enjoyed getting to know!!!
Saturday, Richard and I are headed to Manchester, England to see a huge football (soccer) game between Manchester United and Portsmouth. (sp?) That evening the team will watch the fireworks down by the castle to help celebrate Guy Fawkes day.
Then before we know it…..Sunday will be here and we’ll be leaving Wales. Richard and I leave bright and early on a flight to Edinburgh for a full weeks vacation spent between Scotland and Ireland. I’m not sure we’re going to know what to do…..traveling without a schedule? That will take some time getting use to, then again maybe not ;-) The rest of the team, Adrel, Rick, Ruben and Mariah will be headed back to South Carolina arriving late Sunday evening to Columbia. We’re all impressed that Mariah will be back to work on Monday!!
Well, it’s time I go put on the team uniform one last time…..

PS – I would have posted pictures sooner but unfortunately my camera deleted a huge number of my photos!!!! :-(

Notice Richard's tie that he wore in honor of Halloween - that's a black sheep in the middle.
