Here is Kristy (in the black pants) fencing on the near
strip. She won this bout but later lost her first bout in
the direct elimination (D.E.) round |
|
| Here is Mike in one of his D.E. bouts. His opponent had
beaten me in the seating round and had bested Kristy in her
first D.E. bout. Mike upheld the honor of the club and
beat him. |

Here is Mike in another of his D.E. bouts. This is
a rarity, two lefties facing each other. Since a lefty
doesn't often face another one it can be confusing to
them. Mike eventually won this bout, though it was close
most of the time |
|
| After Kristy and I were both eliminated we explored the
fort. On the other side of the gateway is where the parade
grounds are and where most of the matches took
place. A couple of minutes after this picture was
taken we were forced to get of the curtain wall. For some
reason they didn't like us sitting there. Maybe it had to
do with the 30 foot drop on the other side of the wall. |

This is a shot from the back of the fort. The parade
grounds is inn front of those two buildings |
|
| Here is Mike and Kristy at the end of the day in front of my
truck. Mike wound up in third place. The flowers
Kristy is holding were part of his prize. Only the daisy
survived the trip home. For some reason they didn't seem
to like sitting in a hot truck while we were eating
dinner. The daisy actually lived for a few weeks after the
tournament. |
