Dave Germany - UK Rugby Cup: Oct 17

Again, this email is a little late...but while album organizing this weekend I came across the photos from my October 2015 UK trip...to visit a friend Josh & see the Rugby World Cup.

I really enjoy sharing my pics & stories with family, and I hope you enjoy hearing about the travels too :-)



It was a quick trip...I left Mississippi after Nadine's PhD Defense on Friday...and landed in London on Saturday morning.  The rest of the day Josh & I hung out in London with his sister (she lives in Salisbury, England).  We saw the London sites, and caught an Australia vs Wales Rugby match in a rugby pub.

Then we drove back to Salisbury, and stayed at his sisters house.  The next morning we toured Salisbury (saw an old church that has an original Magna Carta) and also visited Stonehenge.

That night we drove to the USA Rugby match through the English countryside (amazing 'game-day' experience for me).  Unfortunately USA lost to Japan, but we had great seats.

The next day I took the train to the airport, and flew back to Herzo.  Nadine would be arriving to Germany in two weeks!
