Visitors

We had a fun and packed week with visitors. First, Rachelle's God daughter and her 2 friends came from Latvia for a week. We wanted them to see the best of what our area has to offer, so we took them to all our favorite Cotswald haunts (Bibury, Stonehenge, Avebury, Castle Combe, and Lacock) and then put them on a bus to London for 2 days. We enjoyed family meals followed by cards in the evenings.

After the Lat crew departed, the Tone family came to stay for the weekend. Erin (a colleague from GSU) and her husband John (Georgia Tech prof) came with their daughters, Sophia (one of Liv's mates) and Julia (1 year old). We spend some time giving the Roman Baths another look, as well as the Royal Crescent, the Circus, Sham Castle, and some local Bath faves.

Finally, thanks to Facebook, Rachelle was able to catch up with an old friend she hadn't seen for 15 years, Kristina Simane and her husband, Laimonds, who were visiting the UK from Chicago. We took them to a great little restaurant and broke bread and shared wine.
