Umm...Jim is that you?

It's so strange the people you run into. On Saturday, a friend was going to Warwick Castle with two friends. Two more of us decided to tag along as there were free tickets involved (16 pounds reg price was a bit steep otherwise). So we were exploring the castle which was built in the 1000's and was used up until the early 1900's when all of a sudden I see a familiar face emerging from the torture chamber. After staring at him for about 2 minutes straight I realize that I should say hi. For those of you who know Jim Kerr, you would understand my reaction of just laughing. For those of you who don't, Jim was one of my faculty of ed. cousillors/advisors for the entire year of teachers college. It turns out that he and his wife were doing a West Midlands canal boat tour and then visiting his daughter who lives in New Castle, Northern England. It was pretty crazy to see Jim in the middle of a castle a half an hour from my home in Birmingham. It was great to see him.

Anyways, for those of you who are sick of castle pictures, stop now and bypass the pictures. For those of you who don't mind, this castle was refurbished to look like it would have, it is in great condition, and sits on a beautiful landscape of fields, grass, canals and roads filled with traditional tudor style homes. Enjoy.
