Not A Pretty Picture

Not_A_Pretty_Picture

Haydon is responsible for breaking my big toenail. We were playing "kick the ball around in our confined hotel room" and it rebounded off the wall and into my foot.

The two broken toes were a result of the Mud Pit in Boryeong. The Mud Pit is a dirty, slippery place where there is one rugby ball and 30 big army guys. The game is played as follows:

Tackle anyone who is holding, touching, close to or intending to get the ball.

Get the ball

Brace for impact...
