GO DAWGS!

Alright, one strange thing I noticed is there are a lot of people preaching out on the street, way more then back home, especially outside the football stadium. I know I'm in The South but, some people were really set up with their own speakers and pamphlets too!

On Friday evening we were invited to go rollerskating. It was a bit of a last minute thing, but we thought why not? We had a great time, I hadn't been rollerblading since I was little. After a few hours we went to IHOP for pancakes and then went back to the dorms.

On Saturday morning we were awoken at 6 am to the fire alarm and everyone huddled under the balcony because it was raining. It was soon turned off and we could go back to bed.

We got picked up and 10 am and drove to Athens for the Georgia Bulldogs v Kentucky Wildcats game. We arrived and there were so many people everywhere!

The stadium seats 90, 000, which is only a bit smaller than the Melbourne Cricket Ground and more than double Patterson's Stadium.

It was a special game to go to as it was Military Appreciation Day. At the beginning of the game, just after the National Anthem, two Air Force planes did a fly over, and that was really cool to see.

The game was exciting and I slowly worked out what was going on. It was clear that these guys love their football!
