Blake's Blog

I had the best intentions to keep a blog up to date... what I didn't count on is that my phone doesn't actually work over here and we don't have internet at our hostel. That said, I did want to let you know we are alive and well.

We are wrapping up a long day of walking and siteseeing. I think we probably walked around 10 miles today. i will give more credit to the sites in a future blog, but sufficient to say, we saw lots of buildings, marble statues and ruins. The unfortunate fact is that with the jetlag I experienced and the poor sleep courtesy of hostel world, I am not sure how much of the day we'll remember. Thank goodness for pictures.

Tonight we are going to eat a little spagetti and then glide into a carbohydrate-induced comma in the hopes that we'll overcome jet lag by tomorrow. We are working what tomorrow's plans will be. More to come.

We landed in London on Saturday morning for a quick layover.

We had the annual chili cookoff at work and our theme focused on Elvis in Hawaii. As advertising we dressed like Elvis and drove a 4-seat surrey around during the lunch hour. One of the joys of being in HR.

I participated in a habitat for humanity project. I've never done that before, so it was a cool new experience. We worked on building a house over in Semi Valley in 107 degree heat. Despite the heat, it was a ton of fun.
