The Contest

I thought I would just give you a little update on our trip:

We are well on our way to Canterbury now, and have arrived in the small town of Darenth. 

During the meal the night before our trip began, I proposed a little contest to make the trip more interesting. Every member of the pilgrimage is to tell their own personal story, and the person with the most interesting story will be treated with a feast in their honor when we return to Southwark. I am to be the judge, and straws were drawn to determine the order in which they will tell their stories. 

The Knight has already recited his tale, filled with adventure and suspense. The Miller's tale is up next, and he will have a hard time captivating his audience as the Knight did. After the Miller, the Reeve, Cook, and Sergeant of Law are to have their turns.

I look forward to the rest of the trip and to hearing the rest of the tales of this diverse group of people. I will post again once I have the chance.

Best wishes,

The Host
