Hey everyone...just checking in here from across the pond. First, I have to say that Scotland is an amazing place. Christina and I are havign a great time and it really is the most beautiful place I have ever been too. Because I have such a loving and supportive wife, I got to do a games here (Ceres) and we went out to the middle of nowhere so I could attempt to pick up the Dinnie Stones (got them both )
If anyone has a chance to compete here, you gotta do it. It is so laid back and you can actually get paid. Though it may not be a ton, but I managed to make £40 (about $80) with a third in the shot putt and first place in the tug-of-war. The heavies were asked to make a team of five and compete against a local squad. We bet them pretty easily (which we should have), we did have some guy named Gregor Edmunds , a 340 pound mammoth from New Zeland, and the 20th rank discus thrower in world from Canada, another scottish heavy and some nobody from the usa (me).
I
more stories to come but I gotta run the almost out of time here on the compter. Can't wait to see you all soon!
