No change in the screw-up on the layout on my blog pages. I'm still stumped, but will work through it... sorry, folks.

Father and Son Dennis & Andrew drop from Ninth Place to elimination tonight. The teams start from the Diamante K Cabanas in Tulúm, fly 5,500 miles to London, England, and then make their way to Scudamore's Punting Company on the River Cam in Cambridge. Many teams take flights from Cancun to Mexico City, hoping for better connections to England. The Twins, and Michael & Kathy and Aaron & Arianne go via Miami, others go via Paris. At Cambridge is the Detour - Punt 1 mile on the river or Bike on tandem bikes 6 miles through Cambridge. Afterward, the teams take charter buses 350 miles to Aberdeen, Scotland. From Aberdeen, the teams have to take taxis to the Stonehaven to find a route marker in a field. Here's the Roadblock for this leg. Here, a member of the team must compete in 3 events from the Highland Games - Caber Toss, Hammer Throw, and Shot Put. After that, the teams race on foot to the chapel at Dunnottar Castle, the Pit Stop for the leg. In the meantime, Dennis & Andrew get to England a day later than everybody else, so they go for the Fast Forward. They still go to Cambridge, but they go to the Duxford Imperial War Museum and drive a war tank through a battlefield obstacle course. They then go to Dunnottar Castle in a chauffeured Rolls Royce limousine. The Twins arrive at the castle first. Somehow, the limousine didn't help and Dennis & Andrew are the last to arrive. Next week: Portugal.
