Slippery Rock

We arrived in Slippery Rock on Friday after a two night stay in Grove City. After a meal with our hosts we attended a concert by the Bach Society choir of Slippery Rock. Carolyn Rizza, one of my hosts, sings in the choir. The lads all scrubbed up well and looked very presentable in their suits and team ties.

On Saturday morning we visited a local aviation museum. The collection of airplanes and other military memorabelia is owned by Walt Powell, a Slippery Rock Rotarian and a host to one of the team.

After the museum the team was taken to their most eagerly awaited visit of the trip so far.....the local micro brewery. There we were treated to lunch.....burgers and fries are becoming very popular.....and then were shown round the brewing facility.....how they can brew such good beer in such a small place amazes me.

In the afternoon Chris, Eric and I were taken for a drive round the golf course.....they don't let you walk here.....Chris almost managed to upend one of the carts, and he did get himself a new nickname...Bob the Builder....but you will have to email me to find out why...

Roger and Callum went for a cycle trip and then we all met up for a social at Paul Rizza's house

On Sunday morning there was a light breakfast in the Rizza household (bacon, strawberries and 6 waffles with Maple Syrup for me!!!) before we met up at Eric's host to update the blog.

Only two days in Slippery Rock, but we were kept busy and the hospitality and friendliness of our hosts, and everyone we met was fantastic. But that has been the case eveywhere we have been.
