Week 3, Day 3 by Vickey

Well, we're better than half-way through this great adventure and none of us have cracked (yet - of course, that's subjective!). We've made it through four host homes, Conference, and so many towns/cities/villages/you-get-the-picture that I can't remember them all. Good thing somebody put a list off to the side.

Today (technically yesterday given the time this computer shows) was quite neat. The whole team, two of our English counterparts, and several Rotarians gathered at Bowes Museum, which featured a variety of items, displays, and collections that were modern at the time of the museum's opening. Modern design exposure having been the point of the museum.

My host graciously walked me through town, escorting me to the rear of St. Mary's church (yes, as Amy pointed out before, many churches are St. Mary's), which is adjacent to the museum and where the Bowes are buried. He also pointed out many notable points, including that Charles Dickens stayed at an inn here.

Our night ended with dinner and a presentation to another group of Rotary clubs, as it will over the next couple of days.

Good ni..morning? Vickey
