Additional Notes from the Blogmistress

One additional fun story from July 4 -- While in Windsor, some people stopped for coffee in a local shop. The person behind the counter recognized us as Americans and offered us 10% off our coffees, since it was "our special day" -- Independence Day!

For those with high speed internet access, you may be interested to know that we have heard that the competition will be broadcast live on the web via the Llangollen web site. Please check it out if you are able and interested, but for our fans in the States, don't forget the time difference! We expect to compete on Saturday morning, local time. We will post more information if we know it! --Cynthia, '00
