In Argentina!

Hey guys,
Sorry it has been ages since I spoke to many of you! But thanks to Ellie, I could figure out how to put something on while over here (my Spanish isn´t that great yet to read the site stuff here). I can´t figure out how to see my camera on this computer, so you will have to just put up with my words! Well, things are pretty different here in good old Venado Tuerto. This small Argentinian town reminds my strangely of Junee. There are so many rust-bucket cowboy cars still alive... only just... and creeping down the road. It is dry and hot and really, not much to do here on the social side. On the work front, I have been building my muscles on the building site here, yep, you better believe it! Have been doing some brick laying and some plastering. My brick laying is way better than my plastering though. :)
It´s been pretty tough being a team leader... had to have quite a few serious chats with some people in the team about different things. Spanish is slowing getting there. So cheap here! And so much meat! Will be a vego when I leave I think! And the eat so much and stay up sooooooooo late! I feel so old.....
The people are so friendly though.
In about 2 weeks we finish our first project and our going on a short team holiday at some cool waterfalls on the border with Brazil, should be good. Thinking about vising the Golapogas Islands when we finish but not sure yet. Better keep going. Really miss you guys!!!!! Not sure when will be back in oz... when is the reunion again?

Out & About


Hi Everyone,

Just thought it was about time to post something up again. Time is certainly flying by. Just recently the Lovett clan went to canberra for Glenn's cousin's wedding. It was held at the National Museum and was pretty flash. We all had a great time as you can see by the picture Ki enjoyed herself the most I think :)
This Saturday just gone I helped out Dan's Mum at the first ever BJ Bandits Blitz, (translation = amateur line dancing competition). It was a great day and I saw some good dancing - I haven't been to anything like this before. I wish I could have seen some professionals dance too, maybe next time.
A few weeks ago Mackezie had her first birthday which was really cute. Bob did such a great job with helium balloons, heaps of party food and a great soundtrack - a great time was had by all - perhaps they will post some photo's soon?
That's about it for the moment...work has been work what else can I say. Luckily there are a few short weeks now over easter which will get me through the slog to come at June. Glenn is busy going for job interviews so it's all happening here.
Don't be shy and post some new entries soon.
