Milestones


The team had two big events today: we toured Bamburgh Castle (my first-ever castle) and we had our first presentation in front of a Rotary Club. Walking around the castle was really beyond words. I keep saying "amazing" and "fantastic" but they don't really cut it. I kept reaching out just to touch the walls, to remind myself that yes, I was in a real castle that dates back to the 12th century. From the artwork from master painters to the weapons to the interesting conversation about using chamberpots at the dinner table (I kid you not), it was an occasion to remember.
We received rave reviews about our presentation, although I know I could have done better. I'll need to prepare a little better for next time.
