Weekend Trip to Bath

Mike and I rented a tiny car and went to Stonehenge and Bath for a Saturday and Sunday trip. It was so wonderful to be out of the city and see more of England! We went to Stonehenge first and saw the famous pile of rocks in the middle of nowhere! Then we headed back up to Bath. We got to go on a walking tour of the city and learned about all the important landmarks. We went the Roman Baths and museum, too. We had a really good time exploring such an old and interesting city!

It was quite rainy and windy when we got to Stonehenge.

But it started to clear up!

Painting Canvas

We have had more than a few painting days at the new Canvas house. To show you how our painting progressed, here are some photos:

We began by painting all of the ceilings white.

And the walls were painted yellow, orange, and red.

The doors were painted bright blue. (This is a Canvas alumni, Rob.)

We added our logos. (Jenn and exchange student, Christine.)

And they turned out really great!

Then we mopped for hours cleaning the floor.

And painted it a chocolate-y brown color.

Oh and the stairs, too. (Team member, Andrew.)

Mike did a lot of painting!

We have lots of work still to go, but the majority of the painting is done. The second room downstairs is still being worked on at the moment. More "after" photos to come soon!
