You will all be happy to know that Starbucks is the same over here. I think I can even purchase the exact same scone which is kind of creepy if you ask me. We swam this morning at one of the compound pools. Went right back to the basics…..floating, balance, sculling, catch, kicking and how…
Thanks to Kamel I was informed that Guy Fawks day isn’t the Halloween of England but rather a memorium to Guy Fawks….a guy who tried to blow up parliment somewhere.

We had the pro meeting yesterday which was one of the most bizarre pro meetings i’ve ever experienced but it was in typical Xterra style, very chill, laid back and easy going. I didn’t realize the history of this event…
