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?

hey jodes, I can't believe you're a brickie! you'll be a bit of a muscle-woman now!
You better get to the galapagos islands quick, I heard the other day they (peru? chile? ecuador? whatever country they're part of anyway) are thinking about stopping tourists because they're damaging the ecosystem too much. Not sure if they've done it yet though, so if not you should get in before they're off limits.
the reunion is in october I think - oct long wkend, but can't remember the date. You should arrange a visit back for it - how cool would that be!
Say hi to Dan for us, and take care of yourselves.
Also jodes, you should put your personal blog in the links on the right hand side, cos I can never remember what the site is. I'm much more likely to check out your blog than the CBA website... (sorry Danno...)
