So Much and yet it seems like so little time. As you can probably guess by the pictures and the couple of videos that have been posted the GSE team has been busy. From Rotary presentations, to tours of historic churches, and cross country car rally’s, we’ve seen plenty. I think I can speak for everyone that our host families have been amazing. I’m often thinking to myself that if I was hosting a GSE team member, would I be this accommodating? (Well, maybe not if I was hosting myself, but Jessica, Melissa, or Ali would probably be another story) A couple of highlights from my experiences: visiting the castle that was used to film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, finding out what a church looks like after a thousand years of use, figuring out that Ox tongue sandwich isn’t as bad as it sounds, trying this mythical meal for breakfast called a “bacon buddy with brown sauce” (I’ll go into detail at a later date), touring the Manchester City stadium (for some reason the air didn’t smell very good there, kind of a stench, something I’m told happens when you don’t win enough), and finally making some lifelong friends in my GSE team members. Until next time, be safe and know that we miss our loved ones back home (and our previous host families, miss you Ian, Vic, and Chloe)

We have posted a few videos of our first days in England. More videos to follow.
