Well, here we are again, folks.  Last night came and went.  Enough said.  This morning, after breakfast, we journeyed to Anfield, the famous home of the Liverpool Football Club.  We went on a tour of the stadium and the locker room.  We learned about the "KOP."  Something I'll leave for your sons to explain to you when they return.  We actually had a chance to visit the "Gift Shop."  Oh, my gosh, Mom's.  You just may be getting more than one of those nice replica jerseys. Maybe they would serve as a cute little nightie for you.  They're a bit long on the boys, but probably not too long for you to sleep in.  Well, enough of that.  We returned from the tour in time to take off for a training session at the local park.  We got back in time to shower and eat.  Roy & Ken are off to a formal (of sorts) reception with the Lord Mayor of Liverpool.  Black tie formal, except that it will be the silk screened t-shirt kind of tie and cumber bund (not real sure of the spelling on that one) set up for the Southwest SC representatives.  It's tough to find a tux rental place around here.  Tonight will be a kick back evening for the boys.  We have a friendly match scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at 1500 (3:00pm,) with a team from Gibraltar.  Funny, I don't think that many of the boys took, or at least remember anything from, world Geography.  We'll have a test tonight and each boy will be asked if they know where Gibraltar is.  Well, we'll see how that goes.  It's been tough to get in to this computer room as there is only one password and username for the entire group of international teams staying here in Carnatic Hall.  Ahh, another teaching moment - how our choices as individuals, whether good choices or not so good choices (more accurately translated as BAD), can actually have consequences for others, too.  Because of the limited time I have here, it isn't looking too promising for pictures, although I will continue to attempt it.  I had downloaded the software I need to get the pictures off of the camera, but the program has been wiped from the computer I used.  I'll try again, this time trying to hide the program in a file buried on the hard drive.  We'll see how good I am at beating this thing - all just for you, the friendly and curious American folks, sitting at home in beautiful downtown Temecula (and surrounding areas) basking in the bright warm sunshine (except for the fact that I know it's been raining there, too.)  Well, I'm going to sign off now.  Thanks to those who've been taking the time to feedback.  It's nice to read that you've been reading the adventures of the BU16/17 team, abroad in England, representing Southwest Soccer Club and the good ol' USA!

By the way, did I tell you that it's really weird driving on the right side of the vehicle, on the left side of the road, all the while shifting a manual five speed transmission with your left hand?  Yes, I thought I did, but nothing has changed in regards to that.  It's still really weird.  Bye!
