...to do a little research on the country we will be going to, and find some interesting fact to give to the rest of the class. Supposedly, we have to come up with something every week. Well, I found that the British are very British in absolutely everything. Not so surprising. My interesting fact of the week is:
Tug of War is a national sport in England...yes, you read that right. They have a rule book the size of a dictionary which dictates the size of the rope, the number of players, even down to the type of ground they are allowed to stand on. Apparently the champions are being held this summer. Which team will you be betting on?

Mary, too,
I don't know either of you. My friend who came across your blog sent me your post about "Emma" and I now LOVE you blog! So, I guess you could say I "stumbled" in a way to your blog! :-)
A Jane Austen fan, I take it?
Yes, I'm and Austen fan along with so many more "old-fashioned" things! And...my Catholic faith!!! BIG fan of that!
