Day 259 The games

Today we were in newcastle. Tomorrow sees us tackle the great north run and before the run a pasta party is held on the banks on the tune river. Next to it is the great north city games also. We went by this today and it was quite a nice event.

The sun was shining and as we enjoyed our pasta we got to watch British and American athletes go head to head. There was a temporary race track laid out. Some of the athletes had even competed and win golds in the recent Olympics. We saw the pole vault, an event that I'd imagine requires a very high skill level and could be quite dangerous too...

Day 186 independence day

Today is of course the 4th July which is independence day in America. So to all my American friends today is dedicated to you....
