Leicester, pronounced "Lest-er", in pictures
<-- My kiwi friend, Claire, and I in the Leicester city hall courtroom. The particular seats we chose to sit in were in the middle of the room and encased by bars... We found out a bit later that that was the seating for the criminals being prosecuted. Some of the bars were bent from where the handcuffs had been attached-- apparently these seats were not the ones most people wanted to be in!
<-- Dancing with the Morris Men... this was definitely an experience for the memory books. 
<-- After the Lord Mayor had shown us the courtroom he hosted our group for tea and cakes. We took this opportunity to get a picture with him and the lady mayoress. Also in this picture is Claire, Asca, a scholar from Japan, and Mike, another scholar from the States. The tea cakes we had here were the best that I've had since I've been in the UK!
<--- Before our host families had to take us back to the Rotary conference, they took the time to show us some of the sights around Leicester. Here, my host mum, Isabelle, and the other scholar staying with us, Noriko from Japan, and I are standing next to the locks at Foxton. We got to see how the barges go up and down the hills using the lock system.

Looks like you are getting some great pictures.Also sounds like you are kept quite busy which isn't all bad,I guess. Hope you have been having nice weather. We have been having some pretty cool and wet weather. Grandpa Bob really has to bundle up in his hoody sweatshirts. Pam called yesterday to tell us that Ryan will be dressing for the game today so we will be watching for him on the tv. That is where we watch all the games from. Always enjoy hearing what all you have been doing. Love ya' Grandpa Bob and Shirley
