Day Two
Practicing on the Thames River.
Hey guys. Today is our first full day, and we're (almost) adjusted to the 5 hour time difference between Philadelphia and Henley-on-Thames. England is absolutely gorgeous. The houses on the Thames (pronounced 'tems') are quaint, unlike anything in the States. We had practice around 10AM, followed by a shopping spree at the grocery store where we grabbed a bunch of water and Lucozade Sport (the English equivalent of Gatorade). The family we're staying with (The Colemans) have a really nice, open backyard, so after lunch we played a few rousing games of shirtless croquet in the backyard. We'll be leaving for practice in a bit. The course is only about a mile from the Colemans' house, so we run down there together. Tomorrow morning we'll be racing down the entire course against the Yale Varsity Lightweight Eight, with rates capped at 26 and then 30 later in the piece. By the way - leave some comments if you're following us!
Later on,
Kenny Ewell

I love reading your updates. Golda, you really have a knack for writing. Your passage was very descriptive. Kenny, I think you're very smart, but I must point out that it's a 5 hour time difference, not 6. And you know who: try not to wrestle during croquet.
