Ann here -- Another one of those days that required two blog entries.... we left Anne's at 4:15pm headed for Baltimore... Phil put this wild thought into Rich and David's head the week before... the Orioles were playing at home on 7/13 at 7:05pm... Phil thought it would be cool for David and Rich to say they had been to Camden Yards.... plus, it really did make alot of sense... wait out the Friday night traffic while catching a game. True to all of the other tips Phil provided us, it was an AWESOME idea! It was a fast game against the White Sox. We had made the plan in the beginning to leave by 9pm... we left at the top of the 8th inning... Orioles leading 2-0 on two solo homers... remember our Yankees ... read more

so i headed out to baltimore just for the day. didnt know exactly what was there just the babe ruth museum, sports legends museum, and camden yards where the baltimore orioles play. i got there early enough to go see/read pretty everything in the museums. i liked the babe ruth museum the best, has all his baseball achievements, what he did on and off the field. the guy was a pretty cool person. best story i read, he wrote a letter to a sick kid that was hospitalized and guaranteeing him a home run on his next game. he ended up hitting 3 homeruns for the lad. shit maybe i'm a hero to, last time i told flavio i can take 2 shots of tequila in a roll and i ended up taking 5 shots!! thats ... read more

hey everybody, its been a pretty crazy last week or so. Last week consisted of more training, it was long and tedious....nothing too exciting happened through the week. However myself and the 12 other kiwis did a haka etc etc for our cultural night and I had to do the porwihi and just could not stop laughing so was pretty funny! But everyone loved it and thought that ours was by far the best. I did not get photos only a video of it sorry! Fri we all finished work at lunch time then Alice, Shay and I drove into Baltimore meet up with a huge group of the others went to a baseball game, it was pretty mediocore...it was baltimore vs arizona, no one made any runs till the 5th inning. Then went to ... read more

This has been a busy week full of American history. After leaving Warrenton, VA we headed south and set up a base camp at the KOA in Charlottesville, VA. The first day we went to Jamestown. They have added significantly to it due to the 400th anniversary of its settlement - 3 replica ships, interactive stations in the fort and an excellent exhibit and movie in the new visitor's center. The next day we visited Monticello which reminded us of what an amazing person Thomas Jefferson was looking at the house, gardens,and plantation. Later in the week we visited Poplar Forest the small house he built later as a retreat to get away from the hectic life at Mmonticello (shades of the Petit Palace at Versailles). It is a beautiful and unique octagonal home obviously ... read more
