Home Sweet Home


The first group has arrived safely after a long but exciting flight. Last night Taylor's sister cooked us dinner and we watched the USA vs England with his family. Taylor sang "God Save the Queen" and told the England keeper he was "worthless." Things have gone smoothly, except Taylor forgot how to drive a stick shift car, got a flat tire and occasionally drove on the wrong side of the road. We are going to the Netherlands vs Denmark game on Monday and will update you then. Until then enjoy the games!

  2. You guys just saw a great game, Did not know the Netherlands were known for great defense. Taylor not knowing how to drive a stick and driving on the wrong side of the road is still safer than letting TJ drive,

    Stay Safe,

  5. Well at least Taylor has family and friends to guide him. Thank God he did not drive in Rome last summer where he had previously spent 5 hours and then took 50 people there with a Greek bus driver....
