Random photos... literally!
These are random pictures, one is Dan looking for nits for the guys in our team lol, and really haven´t even seen the second one! Hope you enjoy!
In Argentina!
Hey guys,
Sorry it has been ages since I spoke to many of you! But thanks to Ellie, I have now figured 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, where I grew up in Oz. 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.
We have also been quite involved in the church services, and Daniel has even preached a sermon! In English though... and interpreted by our awesome Spanish team member!
In about 2 weeks we finish our first project and we are going on a short team holiday at some cool waterfalls on the border with Brazil, should be good (Nadia, if you are reading this, these are real waterfalls, it is not a metaphor... but the metaphor may appear as well). Thinking about vising the Golapogas Islands and Ecuador when we finish but not sure yet. Better keep going. Really miss you guys!!!!!
