After seeing Warren in Lexington, I flew my way this time, over to Seattle to meet Maricelle. Our plan was to hang out for a week while making our way down the coast to eventually arrive in San Francisco where I would then fly out to England from. I got to meet Maricelle's parents who were really nice. It was her dads birthday, so we had a nice big dinner for us when we got there. They actually live in Maple Valley just outside of Seattle, so before we got there,...

So the purpose of me going to Kentucky was to see my friend Warren who I grew up with in South Africa. He's there on a swimming scholarship, and seems to be really getting into American life. He even says a lot of things like an American now which took a little getting use to. I was able to crash on one of his housemates beds while he was away. It was great to have a bed for a couple of days. Either the first or second night, Wal got a bbq happening in his back ...

The people who were included in this little excursion included, Kara, Brenna, the two aussie Sarah, and Emma, Adam, and myself. By the time we got there it was late in the afternoon, but still enough time to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. Adam and I had brought all th...

When Adam brought up the idea of going to Deadwood, I was all for it. John, a guy who works with Adam also came along. He also kinda helped us out with our blackjack skills. Our strategy was to basically do blackjack all night with some slots in between to break things up. So we found ourselves a table and began our marathon. It was a $2 minimum table, so we figured we could survive a while on it. It was so much fun just BS-ing while winning some and losing some...
